Maybe an example of how to do it using MessageFormat and JSTL would
help get the point across...
Take...
Messages.properties:
jsp.home.search2 = Enter some text in the box below to search DSpace.
home.jsp
<p><label for="tquery"><fmt:message key="jsp.home.search2"/></label></p>
---------- replace it with ---------------------------
Messages.properties:
jsp.home.search2 = Enter some text in the box below to search {0}.
home.jsp:
<p><label for="tquery">
<fmt:message key="jsp.home.search2">
<fmt:param value='<%=ConfigurationManager.getProperty("dspace.name")
%>'/>
</fmt:message>
</label></p>
And no more "DSpace". Of course, this would need to be done across the
JSPUI for all cases. In Servlets that look up messages, you would use
the MessageFormat class. There is comparable mechanism in the Cocoon
i18n in the XMLUI.
