Hi, I maybe doing too much in my template ;-) , but I have code like this
<select name="mi_issuer"> $htmlutils.getDropDown($object.getByAlias("Issuer"), $all_orgs) </select> where htmlutils is a utility class for generating the <option> html, given a value and a collection. all_orgs is a collection of orgs. object is the current object we are working with. This works fine on an update screen as all the above is well defined. But on a new object screen, the $object reference is valid - but the value returned by the getByAlias method is null. This is causing velocity to give an invalid reference error - I was hoping that it would call my getDropDown routine, passing a null for the first parameter. Is this to be expected - I guess there might be reasons for not passing the null on. We are using the velocity-1.2-dev build that is included with jetspeed - which is probably a patched version of velocity as of 16th August.
