	silent references cause strict reference checking to fail by wglass :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi! With some enthusiasm from my dev team, I just turned strict error checking on for the first time. Not surprisingly, our app immediately had some errors. I was surprised to find that it was failing even with silent references. Does anyone remember if that's intentional? <input class="signupInput" type="text" id="StxtFirstNames" name="firstName" value="$!user.firstName"/> org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Variable $user has not been set at layout/slide_login.vm[line 13, column 117] To me that reduces the usefulness of this feature-- we use silent references a lot, and it doesn't make sense to me that they would all cause errors. I was hoping to do a better job of find errors like "$user.firstname" where $user wasn't set. But with $!user.firstName I now have to go through the site and put an #if in every location I want to be blank if its undefined. Can anyone using this feature comment?

Hope this is not broken in the new releases...

	Re: silent references cause strict reference checking to fail by Nathan Bubna :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I don't use the feature, but my understanding is that strict reference mode expects all references used to exist in the context. The quiet notation--in strict reference mode--is for null values, not invalid references.
