OrderByComparator in Velcoity template
Hi,
I'm trying to use this method #set ($messages = $MBLocalServiceMessage.getGroupMessages($groupId, 0, -1,-1, MessageCreateDateComparator obc)) but I don't know how to use the OrderByComparator method. Thanks

Have you already using reflection to instantiate the
OrderByComparator? It's something that Ray documented in
an old blog post, Tricks
of Velocity class loading.
this is what I have done so far but it dosen't seem to work, I want to get messages from Newest to oldests.
#set ($obcClass =
$portal.getClass().forName("com.liferay.portlet.messageboards.util.comparator.MessageCreateDateComparator"))
#set ($booleanType =
$portal.getClass().forName('java.lang.Boolean'))
#set
($obcConstructor =
$obcClass.getConstructor($booleanType.getField('TYPE').staticValue))
#set ($obc = $obcConstructor.newInstance(false))
#set ($messages =
$MBLocalServiceMessage.getGroupMessages($groupId, 0, -1, -1, $obc))
Thank you very much. I've solved the problem by overriding the below parameter. I'm using Liferay 6.2 and it turns out the classes are restricted by default in velocity.
velocity.engine.restricted.classes=
