Funny, I just got back from lunch and realized I'm going to do exactly that (use application scoped bean of the properties). Looking at the bind tag, I don't like the idea of having to bind "each field." I thought there would be a way with the tag to bind the whole class which would make the properties available. Possibly a tag that would basically do the reflection necessary to build a necessary Map of the properties in a class might be worthwhile, but I really wouldn't like that much overhead in a tag. You're right the option of an application scoped bean of the constants seems like the best approach. -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
