In Struts 1 the <bean:message> tag is usually used with the key attribute in order to get the message from the properties file by specifying the message-key in the key attribute.

And in struts 2 we do that by using either <s:text> or <s:property> tags.

Consider the below example: In struts 1, <bean:message key="user.name.required"/>

The equivalent in Struts 2 is,

<s:text name="user.name.required" /> or <s:property value="getText('user.name.required')"/> where, user.name.required = Name is required is the content of the properties file.

But I'm confused with a different scenario. <bean:message name="user" property="label" />

for this, I tried <s:property value="getText('label')"/> but the value returned is the string "label" instead of the message string "User data is missing"

and I also tried <s:property value="label"/> But the value returned is message key i.e. "user.data.missing" instead of the message string "User data is missing"

<bean:message name="user" property="label" /> in Struts 1 returns the message User data is missing. where, user.data.missing=User data is missing is the content of the properties file.

My question is how do I achieve this in Struts 2?

Try the following code

<s:property value="getText(label)"/> 

where label is a variable in the value stack which contains a message key i.e. "user.data.missing" .
