there's no way to do that that i'm aware of.  you might be better off
leaving that stuff in a map.   then you can do
$props.get('server.dir') instead.

or, you might look into what the MessageTool (in the VelocityStruts
portion of VelocityTools) does.  there's a simple little hack in there
that lets us simplify the $text.get('this.that') into the much nicer
looking:  $text.this.that
