Mauro, A working example - where my description ends - can be found at
https://github.com/brianrepko/jbehave-core In user_flags.story you'll see the duplicate columns and changed names to avoid the situations below. Wasn't sure if you want fail state or working state...

Hi Brian, Could you please provide a version of te spring security example that reproduces the problem and we can pull? Possibly with a working version of stories/steps and a failing version.

This is a parameterized scenario - that also include an Examples Table parameter on the Given step. The problem is that the ExamplesTable values are including the "<" and ">" delimiters. This is due to how JBehave expects the Examples: header values to be - for variables to be replaced in steps - one does NOT include the <> - but for values to be replaced in ExamplesTables - one does include the <>. You can see this in the trader stories - parameterized_table.story and any of the other parameterized scenario stories. Tried creating duplicate columns - username and <username> and password and <password> (and renaming those used in the table to get the <> around them) - that is not working however as the replacement of username takes precedence over <username> and I get "<testDisabled>" and "<dpassword>" as values in the ExamplesTable still. I then tried renaming the tables values with "_t" added to the end (<username_t> and <password_t>) but that doesn't work as the ExamplesTable now comes in with values "<testDisabled_t>" and "<dpassword_t>". Also tried with the "t_" as a prefix and that did the same. Eventually had to rename them so that I had "username" and "<user>" and "password" and "<pwd>". That worked. But again with duplicate columns of data. There seems to be bugs related to how NamedParameters get replaced into the ExamplesTable. Thoughts? Can I not use scenario parameters on BOTH a table and steps?
