resource bundle properties file referencing key from value

[kumar chandrakar]

I have say message.properties as follows

label.productName = MyProduct
label.companyName = MyCompany
label.header = MyCompany-MyProduct
label.title = MyCompany-MyProduct
label.footer = MyCompany 2005-2008 All rights reserved

As you can see I have same words repeated in most of the labels.
Is there any way to avoid it by using keys "label.productName" and "label.companyName" with other values like..

label.productName = MyProduct
label.companyName = MyCompany
label.header = {label.productName}-{label.companyName}
label.title = {label.productName}-{label.companyName}
label.footer = {label.companyName} 2005-2008 All rights reserved

Can resource bundle recognize it if my values contain/references other keys defined in same properties file.

Hi Kumar,
As far as I know, you cannot use for defining entries in property file other entries from the same file. But you can generate all values you need in your code, it looks like such solution is not difficult ;-)
