@Deprecated
public interface TemplateMethodModel
extends TemplateModel

Deprecated.

Use TemplateMethodModelEx instead. This interface is from the old times when the only kind of value you could pass in was string.

"method" template language data type: Objects that act like functions. The name comes from that their original application was calling Java methods via BeansWrapper.

In templates they are used like myMethod("foo", "bar") or myJavaObject.myJavaMethod("foo", "bar").

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	exec(List arguments)	Deprecated. Executes the method call.

Method Details

exec

Object exec(List arguments)
     throws TemplateModelException

Deprecated.

Executes the method call. All arguments passed to the method call are coerced to strings before being passed, if the FreeMarker rules allow the coercion. If some of the passed arguments can not be coerced to a string, an exception will be raised in the engine and the method will not be called. If your method would like to act on actual data model objects instead of on their string representations, implement the TemplateMethodModelEx instead.

Parameters:

arguments - a List of String objects containing the values of the arguments passed to the method.

Returns:

the return value of the method, or null. If the returned value does not implement TemplateModel, it will be automatically wrapped using the environment object wrapper.

Throws:

TemplateModelException
