That inference is mistaken.  The value isn't on the value stack, it's 
available from the i18n code.

%{message} evaluates to a getMessage() call on your action (if that 
exists, otherwise it'll look for that call on other values lower down in 
the valuestack).

%{getText('message')} will call getText('message') on your action. 
Assuming you've extended ActionSupport, then this will look up 'message' 
in package.properties, but you haven't indicated there is such a value 
there.

Try: "%{getText('Index.message')}"
