[OT] How to use java constants as bean identifiers in jsps

[Paul McCulloch]

Hi,

Is there a common solution to using Constants for bean identifiers in your
views?

For example in some action I have
...
Collection foo = new SomeCollection();
request.setAttribute(Constants.SOME_THING, foo);


I want to access this collection via the JSTL in my view. Something like

c:forEach items=${Constants.SOME_THING} var=thing
c:out value=thing.name/
/c:forEach

Is there a decent way of doing this? What does everyone else do? 

thanks,

Paul

Look at the unstandard tags.  Specifically, the bind tag.
