At line 3 added 1 line.
Inspired by <a href="http://www.raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=how_do_you_manage_your">this post</a>, I wrote a tag library to expose the fields of my Contants.java class to my JSPs.  It allows a user to specify a single variable using:
At line 5 added 23 lines.
{{{
<appfuse:constants var="USER_KEY"/>
}}}

Or all variables:

{{{
<appfuse:constants/>
}}}

By default, it exposes the values from the Contants class imported into the tag library, but also allows a className variable to specify a different class.  The main reason I wrote this was to prove it was possible.  The second reason was to get around importing my Contants class (and using &lt;%=Contants.VARNAME%&gt;).  With this tag, both of the following work:

{{{Scriptlet: <%=VARNAME%>, JSTL: <c:out value="${VARNAME}"/>}}}

The only thing it gives you over the import/scriptlet way is to expose the attribute to different scopes - i.e. page for JSTL.  After writing it, I think it's a fairly useless tag library - I don't know if I'll ever use it, but maybe someone else will find it useful.

;:''BTW, you need to use it on the JSP you plan to use it in a scriptlet and you can't wrap it with oscache's &lt;cache&gt; tags.''
