Yes, the default MessageResources implementation uses the Java Format object,
so in some of my messages, I have:
my.msg.key=No was found for {0,date,yyyyMM}
Cool, ain't it? Not sure a lot of people know about it. So you won't have
to mess with source code when all you wanna do is change data formatting.
Problem is, the JSP tags can only accept string values, so my particular
example (date formatting) only works on messages created in my Action
objects, not in my JSPs. I'm pretty sure it'll work for Strings, though.
