> Dealing with missing keys in resource bundle
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELTOOLS-167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-167
> Project: Velocity Tools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: GenericTools
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Mohan Palisetti
> Assignee: Claude Brisson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> No exception is thrown when doing a template merge with a non-existent key from the resource bundle.
> eg. if the template has ${resource.NON_EXISTENT_KEY}, then we end up with the string {noformat}???NON_EXISTENT_KEY???{noformat}
> This has to do with the org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.ResourceTool.Key.toString implementation as shown below:
> {code:java}
> public String toString()
> {
> if (this.key == null)
> {
> return "";
> }
> if (!getExists())
> {
> return "???"+this.key+"???";
> }
> return ResourceTool.this.render(this.rawValue, this.args);
> }
> {code}
> Any reason why we can't force a FormatException when running in strict mode?
