Re: [S2] Single quote in package.properties

It really is, Eric.

package.properties is nothing more than a standard java.util.Properties 
file. See the javadoc for this class and you get this question answered, 
and will see many more "interesting" things ;-)

Subject
[S2] Single quote in package.properties






This should be an easy one.

When putting a single quote in a package.properties resource bundle 
entry, by default, the quote get's removed and none of the variables 
in the entry get loaded.

1. What's the best way to have an entry with a single quote?
Using &apos; with <s:property value="%{message}" escape="false" /> 
works, but is this the only way?

2. What are the rules behind how the single quotes work in the 
package.properties files? Said differently, what's the intended and 
expected behavior of a string with a single quote?

=================================

For example, in the package.properties file:

message.myMessage=I've added a single quote in the first word. and 
this variable {0} will not get populated

renders as:

"Ive added a single quote in the first word. and this variable {0} 
will not get populated"

when I expect:

I've added a single quote in the first word. and this variable 
VariableSentIn will not get populated

=================================

Thanks!
