As a work-around I made it this way:
<bean:define id="usernameToolTip">
<bean:message key="login.tooltip.username"/>
</bean:define>
...
<html:text property="username" title="<%=usernameToolTip%>" />
But what I was looking for was the suggestion bOOyah made in this thread. You
can simply use the titleKey attribute instead of title. titleKey uses the
given text as a key for the resource file.
Thanks for your help,
Ralf.
