Qute Dynamically created template not able to understand object data

I am using below code to create a dynamic template -

Engine engine = Engine.builder().addDefaults().build();
Template t = engine.parse(" Dear:Your {obj.name}", null, "something");
Body obj = new Body();
obj.name = "ABC";
t.data("obj",obj).render()

I expect Dear:Your ABC as a result of the render. Instead I get, Dear:Your NOT_FOUND

If I do something like below it works as expected -

Template t = engine.parse(" Dear:Your {name}", null, "something"); 
t.data("name",name).render()

Somehow when qute templates are created with engine.parse, they are not able to understand the object as data. If I use the same contect with the html file injection as -

@Inject
Template something;
something.data("obj",obj).render();

This renders as expected. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • After many hours of going through the documentation (very little available) and bit of source code, I think I finally found the answer.

    Only thing I had to do is use the existing engine instance by injecting instead of crating a new one.

    Replacing -

    Engine engine = Engine.builder().addDefaults().build(); with
@Inject
Engine engine;

    works fine for me.

    Just posting here if it helps anyone else in the same boat.
