I usually put my constants in a class called Constants. I implement them as
final and static. I'd then deploy the class in my location accessible to all
web applications running in my JSP/Servlet server. I think this location
would be server specific (but I could be mistaken). From any web app, I can
then access Constants.someConstant.
Note that when you make any changes to your Constants class, you will
probably need to restart your JSP/Servlet server to force a reload of the
class.

Subject: Organizing Application Constants
> I got an application that has several constants (for example, database

classes

in
