Sightly Java return types

Question

All the examples I have seen thus far (including official documentation) use simple return types for Java methods. In the following example taken from http://experiencedelivers.adobe.com/cemblog/en/experiencedelivers/2014/01/sightly-preview-part2.html getMyTitle returns a String :-

${comp1.myTitle}

public class SightlyComponent extends WCMUse { private String myTitle; @Override public void activate() { myTitle = "My Project " + getCurrentPage().getTitle(); } public String getMyTitle() { return myTitle; } }Is is possible to return a an Object (or interface) type from a method .. say ? :-

${person.address.zipCode}

package com.mycompany.aem; public class Person extends WCMUse { import com.mycompany.aem.Address; ... public String firstName; public String lastName; public Address address; public Address getAddress() { ... return address; } } package com.mycompany.aem;public class Address{ public String streetName; public String zipCode; ... }I tried something along these lines but couldn't get is to work so wondered whether there is a way of achieving it ??RegardsFraser.

Hi Fraser,It's possible to return an object. But make sure that the model/bean(Address) class is available to sightly java class(Person). Also you have to call(use) whatever the classes(Address) you are using in sightly java class(Person), before you use sightly java class in .html. try below -In .html

${person.firstName}

${person.lastName}

${person.address.streetName}

${person.address.zipCode}

I hope it will work. Also write getter methods in Address class. you can iterate list of objects as well. Make sure that you have followed java coding standards in boththe classes. Let me know what error you are getting exactly .Thanks,AryA."
