So what are you after? Why do you need to use a value from the resources as the message property?

It is not however what I am after. What is the point of using things from the resource bundle if it only works through 3/4 of the application? I have the error message next to the input field, by hardcoding the result of what would be a lookup to the resource bundle, as in that example. I don't want that. I want to be able to look up the value just like the bean:message tag does.
