	<artifactId>zuljsp</artifactId>
	<version>1.8</version>
</dependency>

Configuration of Direct ZK Context EL Support in web.xml

In JSP page, you may want to use EL to access ZK Component's property, for example:

<z:window id="myWin" use="org.zkoss.jspdemo.MyWindow" myValue="special value of MyWindow">
	<ol>
		<c:forEach var="bean" items="${myWin.beans}">
			<li>bean: ${bean.name}sd</li>
		</c:forEach>
	</ol>
	use "self" to get property: <z:label value="${self.myValue}"/>
</z:window>

In order to support this, You have to add an additional setting in web.xml:

<listener>
    <description>ZK JSP Tags environment initiation </description>
    <display-name>ZK JSP Initiator</display-name>
    <listener-class>org.zkoss.jsp.spec.JspFactoryContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
