International resources

Question

In my international resources, the code

:

post_badge_format = You've earned the "{0}" badge for {1}. 

In my java

code:

 String messageContent = MessageFormat.format(messageType, paramValues); 

The expected value of messageContent should look like this:

 You've earned the "XXX" badge for XXX. 

But the actual value of messageContent looks like this:

 You've earned the "{0}" badge for {1}. 

Why?

Answer 1

In international resources, the code should look like this:

 post_badge_format = You've earned the "'{0}'" badge for '{1}'. 

Answer 2

You must use ActionSupport:

public String getText (String aTextName, Argument List)

In your actions, assuming it is being distributed from ActionSupport, replace it with the following:

 String messageContent = getText(messageType, paramValues);
