  <p>So I have a JSP that currently has no scriptlets in it, i.e. there are no occurrences of "&lt;%" (with the exception of "&lt;%@") and instead multiple occurrences of "${javaVar}", which is EL.</p>
  
  <p>I now need to add something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;security:hasPermissionTo functionKey="&lt;%= FunctionKeyConstants.CREATE %&gt;" ... 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I don't want to break the convention of this JSP. Can I do this using EL? Or any other suggestions?</p>
