These 2 lines seem wrong:
objsAuthors = doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments').author
objsAuthor = doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].author
doc.getObjects() will return a List of objects (i.e. several), and there’s no
getAuthor() or get(‘author’) API on a Vector or List…
If you want to iterate you need to:
doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments’).each() {
def author = it.get(‘author’)
println “* ${author}"
}
I think the error is that in Velocity the call:
$doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].author is a shortcut and the real
call is:
$doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].get(‘author’)
See http://velocity.apache.org/engine/1.7/user-guide.html#property-lookup-rules
This doesn’t exist in Groovy so you need to write get(‘author’).
Thanks
