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.

Nix.
