All,

I have a template where I'd like to take some text in a variable and do
parametric-replacement like new
MessageFormat("format").format(replacements) might do.

I'm already using Velocity Tools/Struts to great effect with pre-defined
messages in properties files, but this data needs to come from a
database and I'd rather not pre-process the data in Java code unless
absolutely necessary.

I've browsed through the tools available from Velocity Tools and I don't
really see anything that would meet my needs. I even looked at ClassTool
to see if I could instantiate an object through brute-force and it looks
like that is not possible.

Is there a stock tool I can use, or will I have to write my own?

Thanks,
-chris
