Improve <spring:eval> to use beans [SPR-7312]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sylvain LAURENT opened SPR-7312 and commented

#11832 allowed to reference beans in expressions, which is nice, but it requires a BeanResolver to be setup in the EvaluationContext. Unfortunately org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.EvalTag does not setup such a resolver.

My own purpose is to be able to access request-scoped or session-scoped beans in a JSP with a spring:eval tag.

As of Spring 3.0.4, the JSP EvalTag resolves "@myBeanName" references in expressions against the WebApplicationContext. This will be available in tonight's 3.0.4 snapshot - feel free to give it an early try...

Since the syntax @myBeanName is not yet documented, I created #12094 ....
