How to use labels that contains a period with in a ftl

[Vikas Mayur-2]

I come across to use a label checkhelper.select_shipping_destination defined
in OrderUiLabel in a ftl file.But this does not work the usual way
${uiLabelMap.checkhelper.select_shipping_destination}.

Is there a way to use these kind labels.

Thanks,
- Vikas

[David E Jones]

Try:

${uiLabelMap.["checkhelper.select_shipping_destination"]}

But yeah, it is probably better to avoid periods in label names...

Thanks David - but its not working at all. I am getting a parse exception
and freemarker editor is also showing an error.

What is the parse error? Could you send over (using copy/paste) the  
exact text you used?

This definitely works when doing an #assign, and should work for  
string expansion in FTL as well...

Try w/o dot:

${uiLabelMap["checkhelper.select_shipping_destination"]}

[Vikas Mayur-2]

I have used <td colspan="8"><h3>${uiLabelMap.[
"checkhelper.select_shipping_destination"]}</h3></td>

and following is the error log:

Hi Bilgin,
As per your suggestion - I tried with
1) ${uiLabelMap["checkhelperselect_shipping_destination"]} - > Results in
the same error
2) ${uiLabelMap.checkhelperselect_shipping_destination} --> Screen does not
break this time but label is rendered as it is
(checkhelperselect_shipping_destination).

Is that what you mean here. If not - please send over an example.

Thanks,
- Vikas

Sorry for not being clear.
This one works for me:

${uiLabelMap["checkhelper.select_shipping_destination"]}

Yes, thanks Bilgin. In my haste the other morning I totally forgot to  
whack that period when adding the square braces.

BTW, there are quite a few examples of this in various FTL files,  
especially when using the Static["org.ofbiz...."].staticMethod() type  
of pattern. There are also some pretty good docs on this topic on the  
freemarker.org site.

David,

Thanks for the reminder, yes simple actually (not voodoo ;o) : it's a map ultimately.
