--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Yes, the JSP spec as currently written means that EL imports of static fields
simply can't work in EL. That was not the intention of the spec writers but an
oversight in the updates that were made in the JSP 2.3 maintenance release to
handle the changes required for EL 3.0 support.
See https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-20778 (linked from the SO question
above)
The same solution was implemented in the EL and JSP reference implementation.
That approach was recommended by Kin-man Chung, the spec lead for EL 3.0 and (I
believe) the maintenance lead for JSP 2.3. Given his domain knowledge and
position within the various EG's, I am more than happy to follow his advice on
the correct behaviour in this case.
