Juergen Donnerstag commented on WICKET-477: ------------------------------------------- It is commented out in 1.3 (PropertiesFactory). Only (java 5) Properties.loadFromXml(InputStream) needs to be implemented. You are right, that shouldn't be difficult. > support XML format for properties > --------------------------------- > > Key: WICKET-477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-477 > Project: Wicket > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: wicket > Reporter: Eelco Hillenius > Assigned To: Eelco Hillenius > Fix For: 1.3 > > > Since Java 5 it is possible to load properties from XML files. The great > thing about that is that properties can be defined in different encodings, > such as UTF-8. For anyone working with non-ASCII character sets (almost > everyone in the world except Americans) this is a great improvement which > allows them to write messages directly instead of using escaped code. > We supported xml properties files in Wicket 2.0, but did not in Wicket 1.3 as > this is a Java 5 feature. However, the back port is pretty easy to do, and as > it's such an advantage to have, we should implement it for 1.3. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
