Spring Expression Language dollar vs hash ($ vs #)

Question

I'm a little confused concerning when to use $ compared to #. Spring documentation only uses #.

I need to know when to use $ and when #?
Can I use # in the MVC JSP pages?

${...} is the property placeholder syntax. It can only be used to dereference properties.

#{...} is SpEL syntax, which is far more capable and complex. It can also handle property placeholders, and a lot more besides.

Both are valid, and neither is deprecated.

_"There is no JSP EL, JSP uses SpEL"_ You may want to remove this incorrect statement before you receive any downvotes. – a better oliver Jun 05 '18 at 14:26
