You have to setup them manually: define finishInit as described in API 
docs for ScriptableObject.defineClass and add constants there:

     static void finishInit(Scriptable scope, FunctionObject constructor,
                            Scriptable prototype)
     {
         int attrs = ScriptableObject.READONLY
                     | ScriptableObject.PERMANENT
                     | ScriptableObject.DONTENUM;
         constructor.defineProperty("EMV", new Integer(1), attrs);
         constructor.defineProperty("DGI", new Integer(2), attrs);
	...
     }


But I would suggest to use direct Java scripting (aka Live Connect) and 
define a class to serve as source of constants:

public class TLV {

     final public static int EMV = 1;
     final public static int DGI = 2;
     final public static int L16 = 3;
}

....

and then add a class instance to you scope:

scope.defineProperty("TLV", new TLV(), attrs);
