Why Spring MessageSource arguments are not filled correctly in some locales?
mailconfirm.mail.body=<html><body><h3 style="margin: 0 0 1em;">Hi, {0}!</h3>\
To confirm your email address click on the confirmation link given bellow. If clicking on the link doesn't work, copy and paste the link in a new browser tab. <br /><br />\
<a href="http://www.domain.com/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash={1}">http://www.domain.com/confirm_email.html?action=activate&hash={1}</a><br /><br />\

This above is the particular message used for the code bellow.
String country = "AU";
Object[] args = new Object[] { account.getLogin(), confirm.getHash() };
helper.setText(appContext.getMessage("mailconfirm.mail.body", args,
new Locale(country)), true);
I debugged both arguments and they both have the right values. When debuging appContext.getMessage line, I saw that the {1} param is not filled with correct value however {0} is.
Any ideas what could be wrong? I suspect it could be some locale issue.
Answer
Issue solved!
It appears that the problem was because the message mailconfirm.mail.body contained an apostrophe somewhere after {0} and between {1}. After replaced doesn't with does not it fixed the problem. I didn't know apostrophes can't be used in there.
P.S. Is it a bug or just my mistake and apostrophes should be escaped?

One doesn't took me about an hour to figure it out and push a fix. Hahaha.. From now on I consider apostrophes being evil!
