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:

$ 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/
