ShowCaptionInStatusBarInterceptorFactory NullPointerException

[martinahrer]

The ShowCaptionInStatusBarInterceptorFactory throws a NullPointerException when configured in the formComponentInterceptorFactory.

private String getCaption( String propertyName ) {
  String caption = formModel.getFieldFace( propertyName ).getCaption();

  if( caption.contains( ".caption" ) ) {
    // FIXME dirty hack, otherwise "propertyName.caption" is shown in the
    // status bar
    return null;
  }
  return caption;
}

The reason is that the variable caption should be tested for Null in order to prevent the NPE. Alternatively I would be ok (prefer) if with an non-existing caption property the text "propertyName.caption" is returned.
Configuring the ShowCaptionInStatusBarInterceptorFactory means that I intentionally want to have status bar messages and thus I should provide these properties anyway.
I have posted this as issue in JIRA but posting this here too for discussion of alternatively returning "propertyName.caption".

Is there a way to configure the property bundles components such that I can choose whether Null or "propertyName.caption" (i.e. the resource name) is returned (I believe the Struts framework provides such an option)?

Thanks
Martin
