Passing a List of Objects to Freemarker and then Looping

Is “jobs” really a collection? Please post a snippet of code where you are creating and processing your template.

I just wrote a quick test to check:

public void testFreeMarker() throws Exception {

    List<Invoice> invoices = Arrays.asList(
       new Invoice( "note1", "amount1" ), 
       new Invoice( "note2", "amount2" ) );
    Map<String, Object> root = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    root.put( "invoices", invoices );
    StringWriter out = new StringWriter();

    Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
    cfg.setClassForTemplateLoading( FreemarkerUtils.class, "/templates" );
    cfg.setObjectWrapper( new DefaultObjectWrapper() );
    Template temp = cfg.getTemplate( "listTest.ftl" );
    temp.process( root, out );

    System.out.println( out.getBuffer().toString() );
}

The template is just:

<#list invoices as invoice>
 Item: ${invoice.note} - ${invoice.amount}
</#list>

The result is as expected:

Item: note1 - amount1
Item: note2 - amount2
