I am hoping that this is a clever way to iterate through a set of messages that will allow me to dynamically pull tags from the applicaiton resource.
This code does not work, but if it did, this would be the functionality I was looking for.
pretty much it iterates over the set of names for the user. It needs to append those onto the end of the message key and print out the resulting label from the application resource.
The option suggested by Merrill should work good all versions with a slight modification as, <bean:message key='<%="sacReport.label."+colBean.getName()%>'/> as the attributes with RT expr decleared true can have a scriplet for the value, for comatibility the whole value should be a scriplet.
Or else bean-el:message, the version supporting expression language can be used as <bean-el:message key='sacReport.label.${colBean.name}'/>
