Yes, Tomcat behaviour changed and new behaviour follows the EL
specification more closely. It was because of this bug report:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52666
See EL specification for more details.
According to EL 2.2 ch. 1.18.3 coercion from char to a number is performed as
"If A is Character, convert A to new Short((short)a.charValue()) ..."
so you have to s/'w'/119/.
There might be other workarounds, such as
a) Add another property to that bean that will return the value as String
b) Use a function such as fn:trim() from JSTL to force conversion of
that value into String.
