Accessing spring beans from your jsp

Spring MVC can expose your beans to JSTL. To expose all your beans, you can configure your view resolver like the following.

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="exposeContextBeansAsAttributes" value="true"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>

Alternatively, to only expose selected beans you can use exposedContextBeanNames to only expose specific beans. You can use either of those 2 properties.
