This should work:

${Packages.org.iniva.util.Contstants.CANCEL_ACTION}

But make sure you update to the latest cvs. I only recently added a 
fix for this.
I am running Cocoon2.1RC1, so I will update the server and try again.

Many thanks

Hi All,

I have a class called Constants, that is like this:


Package org.iniva.util;
public final class Constants {
    public static final String FAILURE = "Failed";
    public static final String CANCEL_ACTION = "Cancelled";
    // etc.
}
I wish to share this between my Java 'biz logic', my FlowScripts and 
the View Layer.


I have tried the following expressions in JXTemplate :

#{org/iniva/util/Constants/CANCEL_ACTION}                 : No 
pointer for xpath Exception
#{Packages/org/iniva/util/Constants/CANCEL_ACTION} : No pointer for 
xpath Exception
#{org.iniva.util.Constants.CANCEL_ACTION}                   : no 
output
#{Packages.org.iniva.util.Constants. CANCEL_ACTION}   : no output
#{java.org.iniva.util.Constants. CANCEL_ACTION}            : no output
${org.iniva.util.Constants.CANCEL_ACTION}                    : no 
output
${Packages.org.iniva.util.Constants. CANCEL_ACTION}    : no output
${java.org.iniva.util.Constants. CANCEL_ACTION}            :
            outputs "[JavaPackage java.org.iniva.util.Constants. 
CANCEL_ACTION]"

So I am not any closer ......

Any suggestions?

Thanks
