To eliminate typing the messages in multiple places, and potentially miss one should it change in the future, I put them all in a properties file, then loaded them to the JSP that way. Here's my setup:
1) Create the messages.properties file in the Eclipse project folder 'WebContent > WEB-INF > classes'. Entries are in the 'title=Page Title' format.
2) Create a new JSP file, messages.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<fmt:bundle basename="messages">
<fmt:message key="title" var="title"/>
</fmt:bundle>
3) At the top of the JSP you wish to use the messages, just include the 'messages.jsp' file. Then reference them like any other variable.
<%@ include file="messages.jsp" %> // ADDED HERE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>${title}</title> // USED HERE
