I think the following should do you
<img src="${imageUrl}" alt="Author photo" height="<c:out
value="${DATA_PHOTO_HEIGHT}"/>" width="<c:out
value="${DATA_PHOTO_WIDTH}"/>" />

Hi Nikola, never done it, but I think you have to override the resolver.
ie instead of the standard resolver, which looks for standard properties or

Managed to find an ok article.... maybe its enuf for you to find the
relevent code in spring, and steal it ;)
