title: Spring 3 - Petclinic - ${owner.new} invalid expression in Tomcat 7
body: <p>I have deployed the petclinic code from the SPring 3 svn samples repository in Tomcat7 and I get the following exception:</p>
  
  <p>Internal error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Root cause is: /WEB-INF/jsp/owners/form.jsp(4,1) "${owner.new}" contains invalid expression(s): javax.el.ELException: [new] is not a valid Java identifier org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/jsp/owners/form.jsp(4,1) "${owner.new}" contains invalid expression(s): javax.el.ELException: [new] is not a valid Java identifier</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This expression resolves perfectly well in SpringSOurce tc Server Developer Edition 2.0.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas why Tomcat 7.0.2 has a problem with it?</p>
