Thanks Alexander,
I still think I'm missing something though. From the Javadoc:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
<snip>
Escapes are not necessary for single and double quotes; however, by
the rule above, single and double quote characters preceded by a
backslash still yield single and double quote characters, respectively.
</snip>
This would suggest that a single quote would be fine and appear as
expected. However, since single quotes disappear, this suggests to me
that struts2 is doing something a little more. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
