    Hi Kapil,<br>
    Do you have a test case?<br>
    <br>
    Are you using the Kepler devel tree?<br>
    <br>
    Attached is a Kepler .xml file from the devel version of Kepler that
    uses a String Constant to call echo with multiple arguments that
    have double quotes around them.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    BTW - The Exec actor comment says:<br>
    <br>
    <blockquote type="cite">    /** The command to be executed.  The
      command is parsed
      by

           * {@link

      string

      world."</code>.                                                                                                                                
       <br>
          
      *                                                                                                                                                                   
       <br>
           * <p>The command parameter is read only once during
      fire().
