<spring:message code="footer.copyriteText" arguments="NEEDS TO BE DYNAMIC" htmlEscape="false"/>
I need to replace NEEDS TO BE DYNAMIC with Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR). How can I achieve this using EL?

My problem is not really with the expected outcome of Calendar.YEAR , but how to use a "dynamic" value out of java classes to use in SpringNovice User– Novice User2013-12-07 11:07:41 +00:00Commented Dec 7, 2013 at 11:07

If you don't want hardcode solution like BalusC said you can use this solution
Write custom jstl tag like c:set to execute constant path and return constant value then put the constant value to Page scope. This can be done via java Reflection.
Use the tag
<lib:getConstant path='java.util.Calendar.YEAR' var='v'/>
And
arguments='${v}`
This solution can work with all constants and you may want change constant values without changing jsp code.
