title: How to show values from property file in JSP in a spring MVC app
body: <p>I'm setting my properties in <code>app-servlet.xml</code> with a bean like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
              &lt;property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/my.properties"&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;/bean&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Most of the time I access the properties in my controllers or other classes like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Value("${dbtype}")
  public String dbType;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what if I want to use a property in a JSP file and bypass the controller. Meaning I don't want the value type being passed from the controller to the JSP as a model attribute. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to access properties directly in a jsp?</p>
