Thanks for the reply Kris,
I think that setting the null property to true is probably the way to go. I even found an exactly similar thread as what I want to do from this June. Unfortunately there seems to be no definate answer.

Anyone have any idea how to get rid of the "???"s
I thought that's what I just posted ;-). Obviously, it would be easy to turn that into a reusable utility method. If you really want to do it in a JSP, I suppose you could wrap it with the Jakarta String taglib (untested):
<str:strip delimiter="?"> <bean:message name="form" property="database_property"/> </str:strip>
Otherwise, write your own taglib that strips the leading/trailing "?" characters, or use a <message-resources> element like:
<message-resources factory="...MyPropertyMessageResourcesFactory" .../>
And then create a message resource factory that produces MyPropertyMessageResources instances. MyPropertyMessageResources should extend PropertyMessageResources, but since there's no convenient way to override the behavior when returnNull == false, you'll have to c/p getMessage(Locale, String) and change:
if (returnNull) {
return (null);
} else {
return ("???" + messageKey(locale, key) + "???");
}to something like:
return (returnNull ? null : messageKey(locale, key));
That's also untested, but it's the best I can come up with...

Pretty sure you'd have to handle that yourself. It's probably cleaner to do it
in an action.
Action class:
String dbProp = ...; MessageResources messages = getResources(request); String message = dpProp; if (messages.isPresent(dbProp)) { message = messages.getMessage(dbProp); } request.setAttribute("message", message);
JSP:
<bean:write name="message"/>
Or I suppose you could write your own tag...
