Alas this is not what I'm looking for. My desire was to avoid code duplication and I spotted it in the fact that I had "photoHeight" (as a String) in two places: 1. in controller, which bound the value under that name 2. in JSPF which used that name in EL I wanted to be able to specify the actual name in just one place. Nix. ___________________________________________________________________________________ You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Yahoo!
