public MessageFormatUtil()

Method Detail

escapeSingleQuotes

private static java.lang.String escapeSingleQuotes(java.lang.String inStr)

Escape single-quotes for MessageFormat. Single quotes get special treatment by MessageFormat, but we almost never want that behavior.

Parameters:

inStr - the string to escape

Returns:

an escaped string

format

public static java.lang.String format(java.lang.String inStr,
                                      java.lang.Object[] params)

Reformats the passed-in message format-ready string with the passed-in parameters. Single quotes in the passed-in string are escaped and therefore ignored by MessageFormat.

Parameters:

inStr - the string to format

params - the parameters to substitute

Returns:

a formatted string
