c:forEach doesn't support variable in Tomcat 7.0.54 while 7.0.37 supports

[Jeff Cai]

Hi, 

In tomcat 7.0.54, the variable is not supported.
I changed the source 
apache-tomcat-7.0.54/webapps/examples/jsp/tagplugin/foreach.jsp

    <c:set var="num" value="20" />
    <c:forEach var="item" begin="1" end="{$num}">
        ${item}
    </c:forEach>

Then it reports:

I did same tests on Tomcat 7.0.37 and this error did not happen.
