You will want to check out the Javadocs for the java.text.MessageFormat
class for all the tricks you can play with parametric replacements.
Just as one simple example, assume you have a "user" bean in your session
that has a getFirstName() method. You could say:
<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="session"
type="com.mycompany.MyUserBean"/>
<bean:write key="hello.message"
arg0="<%= user.getFirstName() %>"/>
In English, I might define the message in my properties file as:
hello.message=Hello {0}!
but in French, it would be:
hello.message=Bonjour {0}!
and I would get "Hello Craig!" or "Bonjour Craig!" depending on which
language I was using.
