RE: How to resolve error : Left side ($menuCurrentPage) of '==' operation has null value. If a reference, it may not be in the context. Operation not possible.
Thanks,
I noticed that we are using velocity-1.5 but velocity-tools-1.4
Can this make a difference too?
Shall I change both the jars to the same version?

I very much recommend upgrading to Velocity 1.6.2, as there were
mountains of bugs fixed (including some race conditions) and major
performance improvements. I would like to be sure that none of the
fixed bugs are behind this. And what VelocityTools version are you
using?
