You mentioned you want to display a different welcome message for each
user. Is this "welcome.user" really that different or is it just
something like "Hi there, dear user [username]!" ?
If so, you can do this with the default <s:text /> tag, by just adding
a <s:param /> to it:
<s:text name="welcome.user">
<s:param value="user.name" />
</s:text>
The message in the bundle then has to look like this:
welcome.user=Hi there, dear user {0}!
You can add arbitrary parameters to message texts, and even format
numbers and so on. The Text-component uses the Default
java.text.MessageFormat class to render the message including the
parameters.
