Well, what doesn't quite make sense (but I like it anyway) is that  
WebMacro assumes the first letter of properties should be capitalized  
- I think that is your real problem.

i.e. in any code that uses introspection and the java bean  
specification, a property called "title" is accessed as "title" -  
this is true of languages such as Groovy also.

However WM, for some reason - I imagine aesthetics - requires you to  
access a property  like this as "Title". As far as I recall it  
doesn't matter whether you have a getTitle() or a public "title"  
field, it must always be accessed as "Title".

This has always jarred slightly in terms of my 'Java programmer'  
expectations, but of course to non-Java end-users of WM this may not  
be odd at all.

Cheers
