Given
class java::jdk_1_7_u10{
home=/usr/java/jdk-1.7.0-10
}
$java = jdk_1_7_u10
$java_home = ${java::$java::home}
I would like $java_home to be equal to /usr/java/jdk-1.7.0-10. Is there an
elegant way to make this work? We currently use an inline template to make
it work.
java_home =>
inline_template("<%=scope.lookupvar(''java::${java}::home'')%>"),
But this has always felt like a hack to me so I am curious to know if there
is a better way? Currently running puppet 3.0.0.

I think that you are having a problem here because $java is not
expanded/interpolated as a variable and the template solves it. You can
safely use the fully qualified name and this should work:
$java_home = ${java::jdk_1_7_u10::home}
Of course if you want to use $java as a variable you will have to use a
templates. If you tell us more about your usecase and setup - there are
often better ways to do what you want - hiera comes mind first; also
java::params class comes second with the home set as parameter for
different setups
