Message keys with white space

[Martin Strand <ma...@entcap.biz>]

Hi.
I want to use whitespace in one of my message keys:
props.put("key with whitespace", "value");
Normally, I would type this in my.properties file:
key\ with\ whitespace=value
but it appears Tapestry (beta-6) won't recognise the key if I do that. Is  
there a way to fix this or will I have to skip whitespace in the key?

Thanks,
Martin

Firstly, why do you want to use whitespace? No end user is ever going
to see the key.

Secondly, I just tried this

Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(A file with keys containing ws);

A resource bundle that loads from a file uses a
PropertiesResourceBundle, which calls the load() method.The problem
you describe is in the implementation of the parser that loads
properties files

That said you can implement your resource bundle as a class (a
subclass of ListResourceBundle) and then you can have whitespace in
the keys. But, that's hardly ideal as a change would require a
recompile.

There is another option for Properties which you can not use for
resource bundles unfortunately. You write your properties file in XML
and use loadFromXML() instead of load(). Then you can have whitespace.
As I said you can't use XML for resource bundles as 
PropertiesResourceBundles only calls load().
