Those tags are meant to work with JavaBeans-style classes. I think there's
been lots of questions about accessing stuff like SiteConstant.HOST and
SiteConstant.ECLIPSE_BANNER, but I don't remember seeing a solution for that.
One way around it (not that it's the best way) is to provide accessors that
directly give you what (Page)host.getPage(SiteConstant.ECLIPSE_BANNER)
returns.
