No limits on the MapResourceBundle recursive lookup
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GTNPORTAL-961
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-961
             Project: GateIn Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Matt Wringe


The map resource bundle doesn't have any limits on the amount of recursion it will try and do when resolving a message.

For example, if we have a properties file with:
word.cancel=#{word.cancel}

Then we will end up in an infinite loop (eventual stackoverflow exception) when trying to resolve #{word.cancel}.
When it tries to resolve word.cancel, it will get back #{word.cancel} which it will try and resolve again, ...

We are going to need to have a check on the level of recursion allowed when resolving messages from the resource bundle.
