How do I access superclass methods and properties?
Hi,
Can I not access the methods or properties of the superclass of an object
that I put into the context?
Class A {...}
Class B extends A {...}
I tried context.put("test", b);
but $test.getTotal() only works if the getTotal() method is defined in
class B, not if B inherited it from A.
What am I doing wrong here?

Best regards,
Michael

Ah, I see. The superclass has to be public also. Thanks.

I access superclass methods constantly with no problems. Just follow
the rules that Velocity only references public methods in public
classes. So A has to be public, B has to be public, and the method
has to be public.
