Is it possible to use JBoss EL as the default JSP EL in Tomc

[mraible]

I'd like to use JBoss EL instead of the default JSP EL with Spring MVC in Tomcat. Is that possible? I'd like to have support for calling methods with arguments.

I asked this same question on the JUEL forums and it seems that Tomcat needs a patch for this to be possible.

We'd like to be able to use it with JSP too. The last time I tried, the problem was not getting the JSP page to to use our EL factory. I was able to hack it in. The problem is that the JSP compiler tries to parse the EL expressions and would not accept our EL syntax changes. It seemed to me that the fix for this is non-trivial and very unlikely to happen. It's all the more reason to ditch JSP for Facelets.

I'd agree wholeheartedly if I was using JSF. However, I'm using Spring MVC.
