Accessing property via "Unary Accessor"

Hi,

I'm having a class "Board" which has a private property "title". For 
this property there is also a public getter "getTitle()", so that 
webmacro can access it via "$board.Title"

Unfortunately this was so uncommon to me, that I tried "$board.title" 
for nearly two hours now before realizing what I was doing wrong.

What is the reason (I'm pretty sure that there is a good one :) ) that 
the accessor is not (also) trying "getTitle()" when using 
"$board.title"? The property is "title" and not "Title", so. In general 
a template designer should not even care about that. He should know what 
properties the Bean got ("title" in my case) and not how their getters 
are spelled.


Or am I getting something totally wrong? :)

Thanks for your help!

Greetings from snowy Hamburg
