Can implicit object application be used with EL in JSP 2.0?

Question

is it possible to use the implicit object 'Application' using EL in JSP 2.0? For example, instead of

<%=application.getInitParameter("appkey")%>

I want an EL version. I know I can use JSTL initParam but wondering if there is a way with Application.. thanks.

Answer 1

${applicationScope.appKey}
