Hey,

In my action I'm using getText(myKey) to get a localized string. This string has some placeholders of mine, in ${placeholder} format. Consider my original key is defined as this in my properties file:

    myKey = Some text ${placeholder} more text.

I've read in Struts documentation that it uses MessageFormat. So, if I want literals, I need to use single quotes. This is what I did in my properties file:

    myKey = Some text '${placeholder}' more text.

However, when I call getText(myKey) I get: Some text ' more text. Why does this happen?

I also noticed that the problem is the dollar sign AND curly brackets without any character in between. If I have this definition:

    myKey = Some text '$' text '{placeholder}' more text.

It gets resolved to: Some text $ text {placeholder} more text.

Can somebody explain me how can I escape the dollar and curly brackets characters?

Thanks in advance, have a nice weekend.
