UI Labels and displaying the hash sign # ---------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-333 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-333 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 1.0.1 Reporter: Lawrence Li I can't seem to display the hash character In my JSP page, I have the following: <h:outputText escape="true" value="#{messages['TestNumber']}" /> In my messages.properties file, I have: TestNumber=Test # Seam cannot evaluate the EL... Cannot get value for expression '#{messages['RequestNumber.Short']}' I've also tried the Unicode character for the hash sign: TestNumber=Test \u0023 According to user raja05, the bug is due to code in Interpolator.interpolate which looks for a token after the hash sign - which in my case, is nonexistent since the hash sign is the last character in my label: FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(string, "#{}", true); StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(string.length()); while ( tokens.hasMoreTokens() ) { String tok = tokens.nextToken(); if ( "#".equals(tok) ) { String nextTok = tokens.nextToken(); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
