ChoiceFormat for message formatting?

[Andy Kriger <ak...@greaterthanone.com>]

Can ChoiceFormat be used to format messages in the app properties file?

For example, the validator error.maxlength is
{0} can not be greater than {1} characters.

This will produce '<field> can not be greater than 1 characters'

I am trying to use the ChoiceFormat to work so this can be grammatically
correct, but this is not working...
{0} can not be more than {1,choice,1#one character|1<{1,number,integer}
characters}.

Should it work? Do I have a format string problem?

thx
