There are a lot to SpEL to discuss.
some briefs
1) You can use it just like you used context:property-placeholder
2) You can use it just like you used util:constant
3) Basically you can access properties values, actual instance variables values from beans like #{myBean.somePropertyOfMyBean}
4) You can use the Elvis Operator. COOL FACTOR
5) You can use SpEL to do some Security ACLs with @PreAuthorize and @PostAuthorize, like you must have ROLE_TELLER, but can only access Accounts with under $1000 in the account
6) There are a lot more to SpEL than just what I typed
