How to get a list using java method in velocity template

Question

I am trying to get a List instance in velocity template using:

#set($list = ${Foo.BarList}.getList())

but I am getting an error.

Foo.Barlist has a method of getList that returns a List

Answer 1

Remove the curly brackets which is not needed in velocity

#set($list = $Foo.BarList.getList())

Or move the right one after method call:

#set($list = ${Foo.BarList.getList()})
