What's wrong with `height="${DATA_PHOTO_HEIGHT}"`?
The answer is simple, "imageUrl" is calculated in the controller/servlet for each request. "com.libris4you....DATA_PHOTO_HEIGHT" is a constant embedded in the Java code, where it belongs. And, here is another one: in your example "DATA_PHOTO_HEIGHT" is the name of the variable. In my example, I have already made THAT name a constant in the Java class. What I was looking for is having to change that name only in one place - Java code. It could be that my quest is futile, but I wanted to pursue it and see where it leads me.
