I have extended the PropertyUtils so that it can support as well what we
call 'string keyed' properties. It's part of the mapper framework I made
publicly available recently (

<http://www.husted.com/about/struts/resources.htm#extensions> ).
Have look at it and you may be able to do what you want.

I imagine you'll have to parse that attribute yourself and use reflection to
get that value. I don't think Struts has support for this. It might be
difficult to keep it generic however, since I don't think there is way you
can access the imports that are declared in a JSP page.
Of course, there's always this:
<html:userTargetedMessages messagesObjectKey="<%= Globals.MESSAGES_OBJECT
%>"/>

Subject: Global values as Tag parameters....How???
I am creating a custom Struts tag which needs to search for an object in a
HashMap. I want the 'key" for the object in the HashMap to be some agreed
upon, pre-defined, final global value defined in a file available to the
whole application. How do I refer to this value in a Tag attribute?
eg.
<html:userTargetedMessages messagesObjectKey="Globals.MESSAGES_OBJECT"/>
where "Globals.MESSAGES_OBJECT" is some static final variable in a file
