getMessages().format(key, Object[]) not working

[Matt Raible]

I have the following in a base class for my Tapestry pages to extend:

    protected String getText(String key, Object arg) {
        if (arg == null) {
            return getText(key);
        }

        if (arg instanceof String) {
            return getMessages().format(key, new Object[] { arg });
        } else if (arg instanceof Object[]) {
            return getMessages().format(key, arg);
        } else {
            log.error("argument '" + arg + "' not String or Object[]");

            return "";
        }
    }

Passing in a key, or a single String argument works fine:

getText("user.added", user.getFullName());

However, if I pass in an Object array, the substituted values get garbled:

getText("login.passwordHint.sent", new Object[] {username, user.getEmail()})

login.passwordHint.sent=The password hint for <strong>{0}</strong> has
been sent to <strong>{1}</strong>.

Results in:

The password hint for <strong>[Ljava.lang.Object;@1ce1387</strong> has
been sent to <strong>{1}</strong>.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt
