I’m not quite sure what is wrong with the expression

${exception.class.simpleName eq 'AccessDeniedException'}

but it’s giving me a javax.el.ELException.

I’m using Tomcat 7 as part of Spring’s tc Server 2.7, hence using javax.el version 2.2.

    In tomcat 7 (so with JSP EL 2.2) you can actually do ${foo.getClass().simpleName} and it works…
