Wasim,

This is too little information for anyone to suggest what might be wrong in here. At the outset, I think there's this problem cause you're mixing JSTL & Spel expression together in JSP, but I might be wrong cause of lack of information. Have you tried putting a breakpoint in your mainController class on the method removeTags and verified that your method is being called? Have you tried replacing the JSTL expression '${location }' with EL expression '#{location}'? What is it that you're trying to achieve? Please provide more info.

The value of ${location} has a quote character inside it. You have to escape that quote character in here.

But this should be pretty obvious looking at the error. Are you posting to the Spring forum without doing enough debugging at your end? You should check at your end first before posting.
