Cannot access HashMap inside view template of Play-1.2

I'm trying to get the value of a template rendered in a string.

Here's my controller code:

Template template = TemplateLoader.load("app/views/Reports/dummy.html");    
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
map.put("dummy key", "dummy value");
play.Logger.debug("rendered template - " + template.render(map));

And below is how i'm trying to access the map in my view

#{list items:map.keySet(), as:'key'}
   //some manipulation      
#{/list}

But when the action is invoked the error below is shown:

Execution error occurred in template /app/views/Reports/dummy.html. Exception raised was NullPointerException : Cannot invoke method keySet() on null object.

I can't figure out what went wrong. I'm using 1.2.5.3 of play framework and groovy template engine.

You cannot access the map itself you give to the template engine but the keys within:

map.put("key", "value");

In the template you can then access it via

${key}
