[opencms-dev] CmsXmlTemplate class - getProperty()

[Rod Thorburn]

Has anybody successfully called this method from a tempalate file? If so,
please advise the syntax used.
The OpenCms Documentation (version 4.6) page 61 lists the standard methods
of the CmsXmlTemplate class. The description for getProperty() reads "Takes
a property name as a parameter and returns the value of this property .."

Comments above the actual method in the class state "This method can be
called using <code><METHOD name="getProperty"></code> in the template
file".

However, if I insert ]]><method name="getProperty(Date)"/><![CDATA[ in a
template, the output in the page constructed shows the error: 
contenttemplate] ??? [CmsException]: 23 Could not call user method. Detailed
Error: User method getProperty(Date) was not found in class
com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplate.. 

It would appear that passing the parameter value (Date) causes the error!
But how else do you pass the parameter?

I am aware that I could access Properties by using a JSP or JSTL tag - but I
don't see the need if Properties can be extracted directly into an XML
template.

Thanks.
