Can implicit object application be used with EL in JSP 2.0?

is it possible to use the implicit object 'Application' usin开发者_StackOverflow中文版g EL in JSP 2.0? For example, instead of

<%=application.getInitParameter("appkey")%>

I want an EL version. I know I can use JSTL initParam but wondering if there is a way with Application.. thanks.

${applicationScope.appKey}
