I have seen it happen, and I just automatically compensate. Maybe it
was in an older version.

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.
Barbara, that shouldn't happen. Velocity should not be converting
$user.usertype to a String unless it is rendering it. If it is being
passed to a method it should look for isActive(int), not
isActive(String).
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?
