SpEL parsing a valid expression, there is still more data in expression

I am using Spring Expression Language (SpEL) and created a sample program. The code snippet is 

ExpressionParser parser=new SpelExpressionParser();
Expression expression=parser.parseExpression("Hello SPEL");

But got below error.

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelParseException: EL1041E:(pos 6): After parsing a valid expression, there is still more data in the expression: 'SPEL'
    at org.springframework.expression.spel.standard.InternalSpelExpressionParser.doParseExpression(InternalSpelExpressionParser.java:116)
    at org.springframework.expression.spel.standard.SpelExpressionParser.doParseExpression(SpelExpressionParser.java:56)

I was getting this:

EL1041E: After parsing a valid expression, there is still more data in the expression: 'colon(:)'

and I tried finding something in the answers above. Finally I found that in the latest version of a SpringBoot config file, the value, had been converted to a map and so the URL which was the value of the old version was now a name/value pair separated by the colon in http://....

Old value in application.yml

my:
    connection:
        url:http://www.example.com

New value

my:
    connection:
        url: "{
            url1: 'http://www.example.com',
            url1: 'http://www.example.com',
            url1: 'http://www.example.com'
        }"

The solution to the error message was to update to the config file with the map. This gave the code what it wanted.

I am using Spring web flow and moved from ognl to Spring 5 WebFlowSpringELExpressionParser and replaced the @package.class.method() with bean.method() and bean was declared in servlet.xml.

If you are putting that in your spring beans xml file try putting it like this 

#{'Hello Spel'}.

I m facing the same exception when injecting a bean with xml file : 

 <bean id="myBean"
          class="mypackage.mybean"
          destroy-method="destroy"
          p:filePath=
                  "#{systemProperties'java.io.tmpdir'}#{systemProperties'file.separator'}somefile.txt"/>

the problem disappear when using: [] : 

<bean id="myBean"
          class="mypackage.mybean"
          destroy-method="destroy"
          p:filePath=
                  "#{systemProperties['java.io.tmpdir']}#{systemProperties['file.separator']}somefile.txt"/>

Try this

Expression expression=parser.parseExpression("'Hello SPRING'");

Try 

Expression expression=parser.parseExpression("'Hello SPEL'");

instead.

The parameter is a String, but the parser needs to know that this is a string, because you can parse other things as well.

For more information, have a look here.
