Expression not working in stringTemplate

Question

Hi I'm using StringTemplate version 3.2.1 and Java.

I'm passing in an ArrayList to the Stringtemplate but its not picking it up. I want to iterate through the array depending on the number of values.

ArrayList<Integer> test = new ArrayList<Integer>();

test.add(12334435);
test.add(12334436);
...
StringTemplate sysProperties = new StringTemplateGroup("group","locationOfTemplate").getInstanceOf("templateName");
sysProperties.setAttribute("system", "test");

(This will work)

sysProperties.setAttribute("n", test);

(But it seems to ignore the arrayList that is passed in. So depending on the number of values in the array, i want to dynamically build the xml)

StringTemplate on file:

<data>
$if(test)$
$test:{ n |
<value>
<string>$n$</string>
</value>}$
$endif$
</data>

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It seems you're using ST4 syntax in ST3

$test:{ **n|**<-- You should use 'it' attribute to iterate - "The iterated it atribute is
set automatically"
