          Description

          The Velocity user guide is not clear about the precedence for resolving the property of a variable. As in the UberspectImpl.java code, the precedence to resolve a property should be something like in this order:

          getbar()
          getBar()
          get("bar")
          isBar()

          This information will be very useful to the user. I suggest that this is added to the user guide under the "Properties" section.

            It will be in the upcoming docbook User Guide. In fact I've just written the chapter about this and it will contain this information. Thanks for suggesting.

            The user guide in its current form looks pretty explicit on this matter already. See user-guide.xml lines 579-601. I don't see how it would be improved.
