Disappearing apostrophes in localized messages of Grails application
by Yuri Sakhno
We have witnessed a strange phenomenon recently. Well, when I say ‘strange’ I mean it looked very strange when the mystery wasn’t resolved, but when you come to understand it, it is not strange at all, and has perfect explanation, but first things first.
What happened?
Initially, we had a controller that would send an e-mail message and then inform the user that the message was sent:
class EmailSendingController {
def sendSomeMail(EmailRequestCommand cmd) {
// .... checking validity of the command's parameters here
sendMail {
to cmd.emailAddress // E-mail address is a request parameter. It is properly validated of course
// .... doing some e-mail sending work here - standard Mail Plugin stuff
}
flash.message = message(code: "success.email.sent.label", default: "E-mail sent")
redirect(mapping: "somewhere")
}
}
