Description

Currently messages are only searched in the component and its subclasses catalogs.
This means only the component provider suppies messages.

Often a User of a componet ( ie. the container ) wants to override the messages.
In a special case the container is the page which should have means to change all messages.

I propose a path-like syntax to specify thew hierarchy.(means all messages are reachable if the container hierarchy is documented)
I.e:
page.properties
-------------------
firstContainerId.innerContainerId.name= overwriten message

In the Message search for a component it the following search would appear:
look in immediate container
...
look in the moust outer container (page)
the look upo in the componet and its subclasses.

If a message is found stop the search and take the message.
