EL is meant to be used in a JSP 2.0 environment. You can get everything you
need form Commons JEXL.
Here is some code for you:
import org.apache.commons.jexl.Expression;
import org.apache.commons.jexl.ExpressionFactory;
import org.apache.commons.jexl.JexlContext;
import org.apache.commons.jexl.JexlHelper;
SomeObject thingy = new SomeObject();
thingy.setFoo( "Blah" );
String expr =
"JEXL let's you do everything you'd do with EL. ${thingy.foo}";
Expression e = ExpressionFactory.createExpression( expr );
JexlContext jc = JexlHelper.createContext( );
jc.getVars( ).put("thingy", thingy);
String message = (String) e.evaluate(jc);
System.out.println( message );
Does that help?
