IllegalArgumentException while calling an overloaded method





------- Additional Comments From posting02@mysign.ch  2004-05-25 08:42 -------
the bug appears only, if the call of foo is in a file
which is included by #parse. 

You can reproduce the bug with following files:

main template file:
#set ( $param = $someobj.getNull() )
#parse ( "includecall.vm" )<br>
#set ( $param = "a string" )
#parse ( "includecall.vm" )

includecall.vm:
$testobj.foo( $param )

class with the name someobj in the context:

public class VelocityCachingBug
{
    public VelocityCachingBug()
    {
    }

    public String foo ( Integer s )
    {
        return "Integer";
    }

    public String foo ( String i )
    {
        return "String";
    }

    public Object getNull()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

if you render the main template, the second call can't be found by velocity
because the parsed file is cached only once (as one single node). 

I don't think the solution to this is to cache every call in a parsed file (if
it's parsed more than once), because that can lead to much more memory use if
you have many parsed files (like we have...), which are mostly the same.
