How to display the ' character from a .properties file
If in my .properties file I have text with the ' character
my.properties (file)
mylabel=I don't know how
...
The output doesn't display the ' character
I dont know how
Do I need a special character before the ' character?
Which one?
Thanks.

Well perhaps not a bug exactly, but since the ' character is valid in
properties files, and since some I8n code handles them when found in
properties files, the Struts 2 requirement of escaping them within the
.properties file could cause problems when the same .properties file
is used by multiple I8n implementations.

[S2] SUGESTION=
Posted by Luciano Costa <mo...@gmail.com>.
I'd like to suggest the implementation of this simple but great-to-use
feature.
I've made hard use of textarea tag and it's boring to re-code it ever and
ever.
This sample code prevents use of javascript block in head section.
Once "<s:textarea>" already has "onKeyDown" and "onKeyUp" properties, I
think this js code could be added to these properties, in case of "maxlength
> 0".
tag code:
<s:textarea name="txt_1" maxlength="50"></s:textarea>
result code:
<textarea name="txt_1" onKeyDown="this.value=this.value.substring(0,50);"
onKeyUp="this.value=this.value.substring(0,50);"></textarea>
taglib:
<attribute>
<name>maxlength</name>
<required>false</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
<description><![CDATA[HTML maxlength handling via
javascript]]></description>
</attribute>
Att,

I don't use Struts2 - but my guess is that this is down to a single
quote being an escape character in MessageFormat:

So its probably not a bug - just need to escape single quotes (with a
single quote) in any messages.
Struts1 message resources automatically escaped quotes (which
sometimes caused problems in itself - and theres now an option to turn
if off)

Actually, I think this is a bug in the handling of MessageResources in
Struts 2. Not only do ' characters in properties files fail to
display, they cause parameter substitution to fail. For example, if
you have a properties file:
foo=Message's for {0}
and you attempt to display it in a jsp like so:
<s:text name="foo"><param name="value" value="${user.firstname}"></s:text>
the displayed text is
Messages for {0}
if you double the ' (foo=Messages''s for {0}) you get:

Mmm... this means that there's something wrong when you display the text.
I think that, before writing the string, you have to escape it.
How, and where, do you write the string?

I could say the backslash ( \ ) but the apostrophe is not a special
character to be escaped (such as = ! ) so I wonder why you cannot see it...

I had the same problem, and I put ’ instead of ' in my .properties.
