Spring: Problem with apostrophe (quote) in MessageSource

Hi,
After my post Spring: Internationalization with message source, I write a mini-post concerning a problem known in MessageSource of Spring for the message containing apostrophe or quote.

Indeed, there is a known issue (JIRA SPR-9169) in the Spring MessageSource component, a single apostrophe (or quote) is ignored and all text between quotes containing two parameters {1}, {2} is interpreted as plain text.

Example:
A simple Spring message source configuration in web application:
applicationContext.xml

<!-- ################### SPRING APPLICATION MESSAGES PROPERTIES ################### -->
<!-- Files concerned: -->
<!-- /WEB-INF/ApplicationMessageSource.properties -->
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
	<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
	<property name="basenames">
		<list>
			<value>classpath:ApplicationMessageSource</value>
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

ApplicationMessageSource.properties

####### General messages ###########
alert.message=You don't have the permissions to {0} in {1}. Don't panic, your role is {2}!

-> In this case, the {0} and {1} parameters will be ignored, only, the parameter {2} will be replaced.

Solution: double the apostrophes in your messages

####### General messages ###########
alert.message=You don''t have the permissions to {0} in {1}. Don''t panic, your role is {2}!

Dear visitors, have you more efficient or intelligent solution?

That’s all!!!
