Using .properties file to set elements in

I hope this is not to much of a newbie question:
 
I would like to do something like:
 
<html:text property="firstName" maxLength="<bean:message
key="name.field.maxLength"/>"/>
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I never used struts EL but I cuess you can do it with it:

<bean:define id="length"><bean:message key="length.key"></...>

<html:text property"..." maxLength="${length}"/>

I am not sure about the String -> int conversion, since bean length is a 
String, ant the attribute excepts an int, but maybe it works :-)
