The EL only references javabean properties. That's what you have to work with.
Write a function which takes a class and a hashmap, and uses reflection to
populate all the constant symbols into the hashmap. You can then reference
that hashmap in the EL. Either that, or use both the "c" and "c-rt" tags, and
use "c-rt:set" to set a scoped attribute and then "c:if" (I think that would
work).
