You can call any public method from any public class. The final
Velocity rendering will always be the toString version of the output. I
can't think of a Velocity application that would not, in the end, need a
String representation, so your complaint about the toString rendering
doesn't make sense to me.
However, the toString rendering has caused me some problems with
Velocity when I call the output of one method within another method.
For example:
#if ($account.isActive($user.usertype))
In this case, the isActive method expects an int value, and the
getUsertype method returns an int. However, $user.usertype is rendered
by Velocity as a String, which causes this statement to fail. This can
either be handled by having a public overload method that takes a
String, or a method that will convert a String to the class expected by
the calling method. Or create a wrapper class that includes both the
account and user objects and a method that determines the isActive
status knowing the account and user information. I'm sure other
solutions can come to mind.
I don't know if this is at the root of your question, but I thought I'd
mention this.

The class is very simple right now, public class with 5 public getters and
setters. Nothing else to it. I've tried sticking a few other classes in the
context to test them. I have been unable to get anything but the toString
representation of any of them.

The class of the object and the method itself must be declared public.

I have the following code:
…
List<ICODocument> history =
repository.getDocumentHistoryForId("8B2F2F53-7DEA-45B6-84BA-60F2FA11F07D");
context.put("documentHistory", history);
Then in my notes.vm file I have the following:
#foreach($doc in $response.response.get("documentHistory"))
$doc
#end
The rendered output is what I would expect. However, I don’t want to see
the toString() representation of my object. I want to see the value of a
particular method call on my object.
So I changed my notes.vm to be this:
#foreach($doc in $response.response.get("documentHistory"))
$doc.isMax()
#end
In this case my rendered output is simply:
$doc.isMax() $doc.isMax()
I was under the impression that I could add any java object to the velocity
context and call any method on that object in my velocity template. Am I
misunderstanding?
