How to import constants in a JSP page

Are there any better ways to use constants in a JSP than:

<%@ page import="static package.Interface.NAME"%>

Is there any downside to using these (outside 开发者_如何学运维of mixing code/content)?

Thanks!

Yes, there is.

Create a bean with getters that expose constants and set in an HttpRequest in <filter>.

Then you can use JSTL to get to these constants.

You nailed the downside of the original approach.
