just an old mail I had on it.
The real issue is that we are inconsistant in where we call
XDocletTagSupport.dereferenceProperties which is what does the substitution.
Given the nice XTag interface, I'm wondering how easy it would be to wrap it
with a decorator for use in XDoclet to ensure that this happens
automatically... same would go for XClass too....
thoughts?
also - as I've been out of the loop for a bit, could someone point me to a
reference on
- i18n - I remember work being done here a while ago and wouldn't want to
undo it
- testing - where did this get to?
cheers
