How to invoke the non-getter methods in sightly?

Question

I want to invoke non-getter methods in sightly, is that possible?

For example, HashMap.size()

Use Java Reflection API. See documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reflect/ — Trinimon, Apr 07 '15 at 20:00

You can call any publicly accessible method on your Use objects or on the global objects available to your Sightly scripts, as long as the method doesn't need parameters.

For more details about the implementation of discovering the available methods on your objects you could check RenderUtils.java.

If I am not wrong you can do <p>${hashMap.size}</p> now using this with arguments I have absolutely no clue :)

I think that Gabriel Walt would be the best person to ask...

You can not go this way, because HashMap is not a Sling Model (class which marked by org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Model annotation). – Alexander Drobyshevsky Aug 16 '16 at 13:53

Worked for me for the last two years :) – Bambara Aug 16 '16 at 14:39
