This has been asked numerous times, probably just as often on the taglibs-user
list as on this list.
The EL references JavaBeans properties, Collections, and Maps. That's it. If
you want to reference static variables, you'll have to convert them to a form
that the EL can reference.
One portable strategy would be to build a class that when instantiated, takes
another class, and it uses reflection to store all the static variables defined
in that class into a map, where the keys are the variable names and the values
are the variable values. You can then reference that map from the EL.
