arguments to a properties file

[vinitha simon]

I have a mail.properties file, to which I should pass the name as an argument... the properties file looks similar to this

message = hi ${0} , This is a test mail.

the name is dynamic and is passed when the properties file is loaded.

I'm loading it using ResourceBundle. I'm unsure how to pass the name as the argument and how to get it to reflect in the properties file....

Any help is appreciated!

TIA,

Once you read the property in from the bundle, you pass it to a MessageFormat to insert the parameters:
See: MessageFormat API
Example:

messagePattern = bundle.getString("message");
message = MessageFormat.format(messagePattern, name);
