Fill placeholders within message strings dynamically on jspx pages

Question

Hello all,
i am searching a solution for the following problem.
Let's assume the following key/value pair exists in the message resource bundle:
targets.delete.confirmation=Do your really want to delete the target "{0}"?
On a jspx page there is a confirmation dialog. The code looks like that:
<af:dialog id="dialogDel" type="yesNo" closeIconVisible="true"
title="#{nls\['targets.delete.title'\]}"
visible="true" modal="true" partialTriggers="tabTgt tabTgt:btnDelete"
dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.targetsBean.dialogDel_action}">
<af:message messageType="confirmation" message="#{nls\['targets.delete.confirmation'\]}">
<f:attribute name="{0}" value="#{bindings.TgtName.inputValue}"/>
</af:message>
</af:dialog>
Now i want the placeholder {0} getting filled at runtime dynamically with the inputValue of the appropriate binding.
The code as shown doesn't solve the problem.
I'm experienced in developping web applications with ADF UIX and there i got this done with the following code:
<boundAttribute name="title">
<messageFormat format="${nls\['targets.delete.confirmation'\]}">
<dataObject source="${bindings.TgtName.inputValue}"/>
</messageFormat>
</boundAttribute>
What's the equivalent to 'messageFormat' in ADF Faces??
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Not sure if this will help, but rather than using proper messages, can you just use a piece of output text like:
<h:outputFormat value="#{nls['targets.delete.confirmation']}">
  <f:param value="#{bindings.TgtName.inputValue}"/>
</h:outputFormat>The outputFormat tag is from the JSF HTML tag library
