Re: Calling object method with no parameters without parentheses in template

Hello,

Right now, this is possible with *configuring* DefaultObjectWrapper
(or whatever BeansWrapper-s):

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18918141/freemarker-get-method-without-get/

With this ${Foo.bar} will work, but ${Foo.bar()} won't.

Thanks,
