Fredrik, The property value of {common.a} is causing the problem b/c the java.text.MessageFormat class is used to to parameter replacements in the message. Are you trying to use the literal string '{common.a}' as the value of the key? If so, you need to escape the '{' and '}' characters.

In my resource file I have a key called a.key={common.a} and this seems to break. Anyone that knows why this occures and what I can do to fix it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
