Subject: Re: apply a prefix to bean:message's "key" (or "name" + "property") attribute?

Hmm... that definitely works. I'm going to have to beg for Sun's

("forgive me, Sun, for I have sinned... my last use of a scriptlet in a
model 2 MVC web application was 3 months ago...")
I guess it's time to file an enhancement request to ask for the addition of
a "prefix" attribute to the bean:message tag.
Thanks for the suggestion, though! It DOES work, so at least I can sleep
tonight and worry about linguistic purity later :-)
