That's strange. The error message states that you refer to a variable
called "any" that is either null or it just doesn't exist. But the
quoted expression doesn't refer to "any", plus the quoted line is said
to be on line 4 (as opposed to line 2) and column 6079 (that's a long
line). It's like if the error is originated from another line than
what's stated. Maybe you have the #escape on line 2 column 17? Anyway
that still doesn't explain the "any" thing. What happens if you delete
everything from the file and only leave
${motorferdsel.applicant.epost} there?

That the value of mfapproval is a String, so you can't use it with the
"." operator. (Would be useful if it just says that...)
