in velocity can you iterate through a java hashmap's entry set()?

Question

Can you do something like this in a velocity template?

#set ($map = $myobject.getMap() )
#foreach ($mapEntry in $map.entrySet())
    $mapEntry.key()&         


        

Answer 1

Your mistake is referring to key and value as methods (with trailing "()" parenthesis) instead of as properties. Try this:

#set ($map = $myobject.getMap() )
#foreach ($mapEntry in $map.entrySet())
    $mapEntry.key
    $mapEntry.value
#end

In other words, use either a property, like mapEntry.key, or the method, like mapEntry.getKey().
