The EL can reference javabeans properties, and collection and map entries. That's it (pre-JSP 2.0). It can't reference static variables. If you have several constants that you want to reference throughout your view side of the application, create a bean in application scope with specific properties, or with a map. It's possible to use reflection to load the "static final" variables from a class into a map. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
