I wasn't able to find any direct Spring references to ExpressionEvaluatorImpl but I searched through all the third party libraries that I'm using and I found a reference to commons-el.jar in the GranitDS 2.1.0.GA library. I suspect this library is what is causing the dependency. As you suggested, I'll add commons-el.jar to WEB-INF/lib.
Thanks for the help!
