Say in the following statement: | log.info("Saved article ##{article.id} successfully"); | It will print "Saved article ##{article.id} successfully" directly, as seam found the first # sign and thinks "##" is not an EL and skips both # signs. What I am doing now as workaround is: | log.info("Saved article #0#{article.id} successfully", "#"); | Which prints "Saved article #123 successfully" correctly. But this won't work in annotation when I specify the conversation value: | @Begin(value="Editing article ##{article.id}") | Does seam support escaping the # sign? I also tried using the raw unicode value like: ".. \u0023#" and that didn't work neither. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4125703#...
