That's not the issue, it is actually doing that, via a resource bundle lookup (I only have one configured). I want to be able to retrieve the error on the jsp side by getting the key via the resource bundle similar to the way it is being added, instead of just using the value that is referenced in the resource bundle.
The field label is being printed via a message bundle lookup (using bean:message tag), and the error for that field is stored using that same key. I want to retrieve the error not by the discrete value "password", but by a key lookup to the message bundle that produces the value "password".
