Description

Hi there,
I encountered a problem with Velocity when invoking inherited methods of a Java
class. I get the
error "org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference :
template = screens/Details.vm [line 48,column 1] : $class.getFullName() is not
a valid reference" if I want to invoke the "FullName" method of the "class"
object. This method is inherited from a superior class. If I call a method
defined directly in this class, everything works fine. If I obtain the name of
the "class" object, I get the correct name.
It would be nice, if anyone could help me on this.
