Hi, What i really miss is the ability to get a message key from a object. Instead of typing it directy in the jsp. I have some object that that define them selfs what they should be called they have a method: getMessageKey() So i would really like to do this: <bean:message name="beanname" property="propertyname"> And don't forget something like this: <bean:message name="beanname" property="propertyname" key="default"> So if beanname/property combo is not found the key is the default value. greetings Johan Compagner
