[S2] Use i18n with parameters in velocity templates?

[James Carr <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

We're currently using struts 2 and using velocity in order to include
some existing templates from another project. Everything has been
working great... until we try to use i18n with parameters. I've read
all the pages on the struts 2 site, there's no clear example of what
we're supposed to do to just pass a parameter in for a translatable
component in velocity. In jsp we just use:

<s:text key="foo.prop">
 <s:param name="value">bar</s:param>
</s:text>

with a property file like:
foo.prop=Hi my name is {0}

I posted this before, but am reposting in hopes of making my question
clearer. Is the velocity result type just outright broken? And if it
is, could it be fixed please? I searched the source for the velocity
macro for #stext, but no luck... i only found text.vm which is just a
velocity macro for inputs of type text.

Please give me a hint... I'd rather use the framework rather than
resort to some custom solution to an everyday task. :(

Thanks,
James
