Possibility of allowing parameter(s) in struts tags property

           Summary: Possibility of allowing parameter(s) in struts tags

I have been using struts for about 3 years and I have being always wish to be 
able to access bean/form getter methods that takes parameters. This is 
particularly useful when working on multi-lingual support project.

For example to display the name of a location one would use the following,

    <bean:write name="location" property="name" />

translate to calling the getName() method in the location bean.

Now, if location name have translation in many difference language the above 
tag usage will not be able to display the location name in a particular 
language.

However, if we could have the ability to supply a parameter to a method through 
the tag we could pick which language to the name in. That is, the tag usage 
would becomes
    
    <bean:write name="location" property="name" parameter="-347849847775344" />

and this is translated to calling the getName(String languageId) method ==> 
getName("-347849847775344").

I am happy to build the extension to support the feature proposed if it have 
not been built. 

Cheers,

David
