One change - the Constants is used for "constnats" and for logging and localization. Constants.message() and getString() will be removed ( both 1.1 and 1.2 runtimes ), moved to JspFactoryImpl.ContainerLiaiason. I would also like to move some of the constants that are specific to a particular class in that class ( like DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE in JspWriterImpl) and split the compile-time constants ( will be included in the code generator - things like default includes, etc) Costin
