Issues with messages.properties when I go one step deep

[ravikumar.gokaravikumar.hotmail.com]

Hi,
I am working on seam. I have a user creation page. In this page i want to use messages.properties to display the labels. I am able to use the properties file with out any problem by using simple labels. When i go one step deep it is throwing an exception showing an exception

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException

. For example in my properties file i have

userName = User Name

. I can use this property to display the userName label as

#{messages.userName}

.
But if i have

user.usrName = User Name

in the properties file how can i user this to diplay the User Name label. It is not working with

#{messages.user.userName}

as it is throwing the above mentioned exception.

Thanks in advance

The code:

addUser.xhtml

<h:outputLabel for="userName" value="#{messages.user.userName}"></h:outputLabel>

messages_en.properties:
user.userName=User Name

Try it:

#{messages['messages.user.userName']}

example:

<s:label id="language_Label" value="#{messages['messages.user.userName']}"/>

I tried it:

#{messages['messages.user.userName']}

it is displaying the text as messages.user.userName

It is working fine with the following code:

#{messages['user.userName']}
