[jira] Commented: (WICKET-477) support XML format for properties

["Juergen Donnerstag (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

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.

> 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.
