How to retrieve the values from the java class file into velocity template file using the field methodizer?

[Jayashree Shetty]

I have a java class file which has a static variable . I need to access this value into a velocity template file . i read that field methodizer does it. i have used this but it returns null evrytime.

public class DueDateIndicator
{
   public static String methodvalue = "10";

   @Override
   public Map<String, Object> getContextMap(User user,    JiraHelper jiraHelper)
  {
		
   FieldMethodizer methodizer = new   FieldMethodizer("com.example.plugins.tutorial.DueDateIndicator"  );
map.put("duedateindicatorvalue", methodvalue);

System.out.println("The value of the count is :" + methodizer.get(methodvalue));

}

The value prints on the console as "null".

Seems over complex to me. Have you tried the absolute basic test first?

String myTest = "Hello world!" ;

map.put ("myteststring", myTest);

Then in the velocity,

$myteststring

Thanks Nic.. I realized that i really made it complex by using the fieldmethodizer after posting this question later. I was about to write it as a comment that instead we could use the basic assignment . By the time read your post :) Thank you. It did work.
