  • Subject: declaring static, final
  • From: "Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

One of my "reviewers" told me that I should declare my values that I am
reading into the servlet from a web page as static and final.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this... the compiler doesn't
like my syntax.

Here's what I have now:

    String FILENAME=request.getParameterValues("filename")[0].trim();

how would I declare FILENAME as static final?

I tried: 
private static final String
FILENAME=request.getParameterValues("filename")[0].trim();

Sorry for a silly syntax question.  It does make sense why I would make it
static, but final, I'm still out on that.

What are the default access level if nothing is specified?  public? 

Brad
