Hiho!
It is possible, but only with a little trick.
Using a parameter in the EL is a new EL-2.2 feature which is _not_ part of
JSP-2.1 delivered with tomcat6 and jetty6 but defined in JSR-245 MR-2 (JSP-2.2)
[1].
You can enable EL-2.2 by using a few tricks even in tomcat-6 and jetty6.
Here is how goes:
A.) You have to use el-api.jar and el-impl.jar from the glassfish reference
implementation. In your pom.xml:
<!-- EL 2 -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.el</groupId>
<artifactId>el-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>jetty</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jetty-version}</version>
<configuration>
<scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.el</groupId>
<artifactId>el-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
<artifactId>el-impl</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
<version>2.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</profile>
</profiles
This will allow you to use EL-2.2 by running
$> mvn clean install -Pjetty jetty:run
B.) preparing tomcat
1. go to the tomcat home directory
2. remove tomcats el-api.jar from the classpath:
$> mv ./lib/el-api.jar ./lib/el-api.jar.nixda
3. copy the EL-2.2 jars into ./lib (el-api-2.2.jar, el-impl-2.2.jar)
4. make sure that the applications don't contain those 2 el jars!
voila, have fun!
LieGrue,
