Bean:message should Trim keys before dereferencing

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<bean:parameter id="messageTileKey" name="messageTileKey"/>
<bean:define id="messageKey" value='<%= "pages." + messageTileKey + ".message"%
>'/>
<bean:define id="titleKey" value='<%= "pages." + messageTileKey + ".title "%

<p><bean:message  key='<%=titleKey%>'/></p>
<p><bean:message  key='<%=messageKey%>'/></p>


My application.properties has the following two lines in it:
    pages.testmessage.title=Test Message Page
    pages.testmessage.message=Congratulations! You have found the test
message page.

But when I try to invoke the page, I get the following error thrown:
    2003-03-09 10:05:25 StandardWrapperValve[jsp]: Servlet.service() for
servlet jsp threw exception
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Missing message for key
pages.testmessage.title

It took me a long time to figure this out. If you look very closely at the
4th line in the jsp file, you'll see an errant space inside the .title
literal. Obviously it is very hard to see the trailing space in the error
log. The key should be trimmed before it is dereferenced. If for some reason 
that is a bad idea, then at least put quotes around the key in the debug log 
so that the trailing space becomes evident.
