Hi Konstantin, Please bare with me. I did not get the answer to my question in Stack overflow by email as I was expecting. In fact my original question was deleted by a moderator and when I asked why, providing the info I am providing below, my question was cut.
I understand I can change my code in hundreds of JSP with a simple search and replace to favor ${owner['new']} because ${owner.new} is not valid because new is not a correct Java identifier. Thanks! I am just trying to clarify the rest of my findings (which were deleted from stack overflow but posted in my blog) Here we go: Downloading latest jasper-el http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/jasper-el/6.0.33/jasper-el-6.0.33.jar (from August 2011 which I consider latest - please correct me if I am wrong) or even copying the jar from a previous tomcat installation allows ${owner.new} to work. The version of jasper-el shipped with tomcat 7.0.22 does not. Is that a bug in jasper-el-6.0.33.jar? Furthermore, the alternative ${owner.isNew()} which does work in Tomcat 7.0.22 default jasper-el fails when I use jasper-el-6.0.33.jar. Is that then another bug in jasper-el-6.0.33.jar? I forgot to thanks Mark for the flag. Thank you for taking your time and reading. Best, -Nestor trick. Just remember to remove the old jar file: ? 1 2 3 4 $ cd ~ $ curl http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/jasper-el/6.0.33/jasper-el-6.0.33.jar > jasper-el-6.0.33.jar $ mv /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.22/lib/jasper-el.jar . $ cp jasper-el-6.0.33.jar /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.22/lib/ On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 7:35 PM, Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 2011/10/4 Nestor Urquiza <nestor.urqu...@gmail.com>: > > Hi Mark, > > > > So you are suggesting Spring pet clinic application is broken? > > There are many implementations of Pet Clinic out there.
