well, I asked it on a JSF forum - no reply however, I wrote a simple sample application with JSF on JBoss without SEAM and it worked as expected (but I used jsp instead of facelets) anyway I just debugged into the SEAM source and found out, that the problem is, that the messages component (org.jboss.seam.international.Messages) calls SeamResourceBundle.getString() which in turn calls Interpolator.interpolate() before returning the string so I wrote another simple SEAM example: | String source = "{0,number,#.#}"; | String interpolated = Interpolator.instance().interpolate(source); | System.out.println("soruce: '"+source+"'"); | System.out.println("interpolated: '"+interpolated+"'"); | which prints the following output on stdout: anonymous wrote : | 17:02:00,133 INFO [STDOUT] soruce: '{0,number,#.#}' | 17:02:00,133 INFO [STDOUT] interpolated: '{0}' | next test was to create a simple java file, that does following: | String expr = "{0,number,#.##}"; | String value = new MessageFormat(expr, java.util.Locale.getDefault()).format(null); | System.out.println("expr : "+expr); | System.out.println("value: "+value); | which results in: anonymous wrote : | expr : {0,number,#.##} | value: {0} | so now I know why it does not work, but I'm not sure what to do about it. | * Is it a problem of the JRE? | it seems strange to me that format() changes my string, although I do not pass any parameters.. | * Or should Seam's Interpolator.interpolate() not call | MessageFormat.format() if there are no parameters? | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4100752#...
