[Springframework-developer] Expression language for use in ApplicationContext

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Has an expression language available for use in the app context ever 
been considered? (as per email below)

It can't do this (to the best of my knowledge). There is an expression 
language available for use in the JSP tags, but this is not accessible 
in the contexts.

If there is enough of a use case for this it could certainly be done. 
One way would be to try leveraging the existing expression language 
code. I have no idea how easy this would be to do since I've actually 
never touched the web ui code. Another mechanism would be to bring in 
something like OGNL, which is quite powerful...

What is your usage scenario?
