MessageTool dynamic keys

[Jaap van der Molen <mo...@mail.com>]

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to use dynamic keys instead of just String
literals in the MessageTool.get(...) methods? At the moment,
$text.get("mainPage.recentEntries") returns "Recent Entries", but
$text.get( $item.getName() ) returns "$text.get( $item.getName() )".

Alternatives like

$text.get( "$item.getName()" )

or

#set ($itemName = "$item.getName()" )
$text.get( "$itemName" )

dont't work either.

I am relatively new to the VLT, so perhaps I have missed something. Any
clues?

Thanks,
Jaap

That generally means that either $item or $item.getName() is null.

It's perfectly-legal VTL.

Try outputting $item and $item.getName().
