ModelAndView object is not printed on JSP

I am bundling my ModelAndView with my output as below.

modelAndView.addObject("expenseList", new ExpenseDAO().getExpenseRecords());

When I try to retrieve it in jsp as ${expenseList}, it is just printed as ${expenseList}, not the real value.

Thanks to mkyong who mentioned that it is disabled in jsp 1.x. We need to enable EL explicitly with the follwing tag.

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
