--- Comment #5 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Test cases that avoid JSPs and go directly to the ELProcessor are good since
they avoid a lot of the complexities. The only catch is that you still have to
use Java escaping for the String (which you have in your example above).
I've re-read that section of the EL spec and I see what you mean. That language
actually seems pretty clear although it would be better if it said the escape
was "\$}" or "\#{". In this type of case, I usually look at section 1.24 for
clarity/confirmation. Unfortunately that doesn't help. It is clear that "\$500"
is a literal expression but it offers to guidance as to whether it evaluates to
"$500" or "\$500".
I took a look at the previous EL spec and there is some helpful language there.
<quote>
LiteralExpression::= (LiteralComponent)* ([$#])?
i.e. a string of any characters that doesn't include ${ or #{ unless escaped by
\${ or \#{
</quote>
The 2.2 spec also include the language about using \$ or \# as the escape.
Given all of this, I think you are right and "\$500" should be evaluated as
"\$500" not "$500".
I've converted your example to a test case and I'll tae a look at a fix.
