Hi Bob,
i would do it like that:
welcomeMessage=Welcome to {0} - Additional information about {1} is available.
then in jsp
<s:property value="welcomeMessage"/>
and in action
public String getWelcomeMessage() {
return getText("welcomeMessage", varFromDatabase1, varFromDatabase2);
}
I asume that name and second parameter are constructed somehow
(database or configuration).
I'm not saying that this is most proper, but it will do the job.
Best greetings,
Paweł Wielgus.
