     Project: XDoclet
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Core  
    Versions: 1.2.3

At present XDtMethod:setCurrentMethod and XDtMethod:ifHasMethod will not find methods that are defined in the ancestors of the current class.

I was tempted to put this as a bug, because it seems inconsistent with XDtMethod:forAllMethods.

If I want to generate code based on a specifc method that may be defined in a superclass/interface of the current class, then I would have to use XDtMethod:forAllMethods with a XDtMethod:ifMethodNameEquals, which seems less readable to me.

If there are existing templates that assume that it is limited to the current class, and doesn't go up the class hierarchy, then perhaps adding a 'superclasses' argument like forAllMethods has.
