Despite a lot of problem solutions I have stuck on the problem with ELException:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tilesConfigurer' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/tiles-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.el.ELException: Provider com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl not found

I'm sure that it isn't due to any user impact in web application code since another server with the same application is running well and both app's code is identical. Both servers` environments looks identical as well.

I'm using Apache Tomcat/8.0.37 and oracle-java8-jdk-amd64.

I`ve add el-api, el-impl and jsp-api to /usr/share/java due to errors that these libraries couldn't be found in /usr/share/java.

remove

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.el</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.el-api</artifactId>
  <version>3.0.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

For this jar have javax.el.ExpressionFactory

and tomcat8-el-api.jar have the same one.

This will cause conflict

remove this

<dependency>
            <groupId>javax.el</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.el-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

and try with

<dependency>
          <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
          <artifactId>el-impl</artifactId>
          <version>2.2</version>

I tried all the already answered solutions but none of them work for me on Spring Boot 2.1.3 embedded tomcat. Below dependencies worked for me

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.el</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Same problem I had one legacy installation on Tomcat7+JDK1.8 box where a new webapp was deployed. It was meant to be run on Tomcat9+JDK10 but this box was an exception.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/el/ELManager
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: javax.el.ELException: Provider com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl not found

I could not update T7+JDK1.8 so instead made this brute-force change.

 rename: tomcat/lib/el-api.jar to el-api.jar_original2.x
 add: tomcat/lib/el-api.jar  version 3.x
 add: tomcat/lib/el-impl-2.2.1-b05.jar   version 2.2.x

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.el/javax.el-api/3.0.1-b06
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.web/el-impl/2.2.1-b05
