--- Comment #2 from Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> ---
Ack. Reproducible with your sample file from Comment 0 minus the 'xmlns:c' and
'xmlns:fmt' attributes.
> javax.el.ELException: Failed to parse the expression
> [${currentControllereq'News'?'selectedItem':''}]
Notes:
1. "currentControllereq" is printed without spaces in the above message. Also
the rest of whitespaces are also missing in the message.
2. A workaround is to add braces around the variable name.
The following does work:
... class="${(currentController) eq 'News' ? 'selectedItem' : ''}" ...
3. This issue happens when EL in the value of a tag attribute.
This issue does not happen when EL is in the plain text (body of a tag).
The following does work successfully:
<jsp:root version="2.0" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";
><jsp:directive.page contentType="text/plain"/>
${currentController eq 'News' ? 'selectedItem' : ''}</jsp:root>
