I know how to handle this in JSTL, but get stuck in Seam. Here is my issue: In my message properties file, I have some like gender.f= Female gender.m= Male The gender attribute of my user class store the gender information as f or m. How I display the gender in UI(xhtml in this case)? #{messages['gender.'] and ... ? I have tried a few times without a luck.
