The reason is o.a.t.modules.ActionEvent java:formatString, but that's
probably not what you wanted to hear... :-)
I don't know whether there is a depp reason for this. This is quite
historic code, it has been like this when I came to Turbine in '01 and
there was never any reason to change.
As your actions normally extend VelocityAction or VelocitySecureAction
and these extend in turn o.a.t.util.velocity.VelocityActionEvent which
in turn extends ActionEvent, you can just write a small CustomAction
class which extends VelocityAction and shadows formatString. I'd be
interested in hearing results.
Yes, this _is_ frustrating. Trust me, even seasoned Turbine developers
(e.g. me ;-) stumble over this from time to time.
Did this BTW solve your problem?
Regards
Henning
