File 1 : Constants.java

package com.sdl.webapp.main.common;


public class Constants {
    public static final String LARGE = "Large";
}

File 2 : demo.jsp

<jsp:useBean id="entity" type="com.sdl.modules.model.common.GenericComponentCollectionModel" scope="request"/>
<jsp:useBean id="cons" type="com.sdl.webapp.main.common.Constants" scope="request"/>

${cons.LARGE}

How do I handle String constants in JSP in the DXA framework ?

We are using the Java MVC framework, DXA 1.5 and SDL Tridion 2013
