Question

I’m using spring and freemarker and have the basics working.

I’ve got a properties file like

help.text=For further information please see the <a href="{0}">help page</a>.

I’m currently outputting localised messages using

${rc.getMessage("help.text")}

However I’m having trouble figuring out how I can pass in my substitution variables. Can you help?

Cheers,
Peter

Answer 1

If I read the Spring API documentation about RequestContext (your rc?) correctly, then

${rc.getMessage("help.txt", ["yourHelpUrl"])}

might work, because getMessage can receive an additional List argument with message args, which you can supply via a FreeMarker sequence.
