[stringtemplate-interest] IDE support and an issue with a nested list of Java objects

[Shane Witbeck]

Although I've had some help from Terence, I'm still having an issue with the
first of my two questions. I'm iterating over a list of "table" objects and
for each table object I have a list of column objects.

His solution was something like this:

$tables:{
  public $it.capitalizedName$ get$it.capitalizedName$(int id) throws
DataAccessException {
    String sql = "select $it.columns{c | $c.lowerName()$}; separator=", "$
from $it.allLowerName$ where ID = ?";

I think he made the assumption that c.lowerName() is a call to a nested
template. What I really need it to do is to invoke a "lowerName()" method on
the column object like I'm doing in the iteration of tables above it. Not
sure if I'm unaware of a limitation or if I have the syntax wrong.

Thanks again.
