Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I use the static final for all the constant in my readUploadfile function :

private void readUploadfile(String uploadfileP, String tempfileP)
{
String linestr, linestr2;
int linenum, closelinenum;
static final String openschemaA="schema.a";
static final String openschemaB="schema.b";
static final String openschemaC="schema.c";
static final String openschemaD="schema.d";

===================================
but I got the following error :

jsp:44: Error: static is not a valid local variable or parameter modifier.
jsp:45: Error: static is not a valid local variable or parameter modifier.
jsp:46: Error: static is not a valid local variable or parameter modifier.
jsp:47: Error: static is not a valid local variable or parameter modifier.

when I remove the static, it works fine, why I can't use static for the constants in JSP??

Thanks,
ED
