Are you using JQuery? Do you want to use the constants in multiple javascript files? Then read on. (This is my answer for a related JQuery question)
There is a handy jQuery method called 'getScript'. Make sure you use the same relative path that you would if accessing the file from your html/jsp/etc files (i.e. the path is NOT relative to where you place the getScript method, but instead relative to your domain path). For example, for an app at localhost:8080/myDomain:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.getScript('/myDomain/myScriptsDir/constants.js');
...
then, if you have this in a file called constants.js:
var jsEnum = { //not really an enum, just an object that serves a similar purpose
FOO : "foofoo",
BAR : "barbar",
}
You can now print out 'foofoo' with
jsEnum.FOO
