I think if you just write the end of the path, like just "msg" wicket should pick that up.. But it will be overidden everywhere and not just for somediv.msg.. As I remember the override path for property files are this: Application>Page>Panel (maybe it goes deeper than panel) And as for specification I think you can do the following: For page & panels: WicketComponentPath.MesageKey (will override that message only) MesageKey (will override all messages for the page all message keys called msg If you do it in application it's just application scope, im not sure you can do panel.msg in application cant remember, but you should be able..Im not sure if this brings anything for you?
