Hey Yasser,
Thanks for your reply. I tought I tried every combination you suggested,
but it seems that I missed the *$'{placeholder}'* variant.
This works for me. Thanks for your help!

Subject: Escaping dollar sign and curly brackets
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?
It seems firstly ${placeholder} is evaluated to empty by Struts then '' is
evaluated to ' by MessageFormat.
I also noticed that the problem is the dollar sign AND curly brackets without
any
character in between. If I have this definition:
myKey = Some text '$' 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?
I guess '$'{placeholder} or $'{placeholder}' or '$''{placeholder}' should work
:\ could you please report back the result for each one? And which Struts
version you test?
Thanks for using Struts!
Kind Regards.
