Added bean configuration below into applicationContext.xml to enable Spring EL

<bean id="webexpressionHandler" class="org.springframework.security.web.access.expression.DefaultWebSecurityExpressionHandler" />



To have this applicationContext.xml to be pickup, make sure listener has been added into /WEB-INF/web.xml


<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
