Maybe I'm missing something here. Do you actually have
${table.TableInfo.Category.Name} with all those capital letters in the
Velocity templates? That would be incredibly... strange. Or what else
is the difference?

Also, you can possibly just extend BeansWrapper with subclassing (as
opposed to modifying the source code). If you indeed have some naming
convention mismatches, and you are sure that you don't want to fix
those in the templates instead, note the
BeansWrapper.finetuneMethodAppearance method.

Ah... that. That's FM 3.0, a dead branch, apparently. I will mark it
like so. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes.
