iam using a very basic basic basic controller in spring mvc

...
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
    public ModelAndView helloWorld() {

        String message = "Hello World, Spring 3.0!";
        return new ModelAndView("helloteste", "message", message);
    }
...

but when accessing it from a jsp, nothing is shown.
Jsp bellow

<html>
<head>
<title>Spring 3.0 MVC Series: Hello World </title>
</head>
<body>
${message}

</body>
</html>

Result on the screen (the server does not resolve the tag …)

${message}

However if i get te info directely from the attributes of the request, it works …

<%
String s = (String ) request.getAttribute("message");
out.print(s);

%>

Why the notation ${…} is not working ???

    It seems as if the JSP is not resolving the expression language. This can be a configuration issue if your web.xml file does not specify a version attribute of 2.4 or greater for the <web-app/> tag. In this case, I would recommend updating your web.xml file to following, provided that your app server is modern enough:

    <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

</web-app>
