Cool, thanks! Now I look at the Velocity user guide and find this:
*"$customer.Address*. It can have two meanings. It can mean, Look in the
hashtable identified as *customer* and return the value associated with the
key *Address*. But *$customer.Address* can also be referring to a method
(references that refer to methods will be discussed in the next section); *
$customer.Address* could be an abbreviated way of writing *
$customer.getAddress()*."
so, one more question, if I have both the get(String s) and the getAddress()
methods for the Customer object. In the template, I have $customer.Address,
Which method would take precedence? customer.get("address") or
customer.getAddress()?
