title: Expression Language skip identifier check in tomcat 7
body: <p>I got following error :</p>
  
  <pre><code>SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
  javax.el.ELException: The identifier [case] is not a valid Java identifier as required by section 1.19 of the EL specification (Identifier ::= Java language identifier). This check can be disabled by setting the system property org.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK to true.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is due to in tomcat 7 by default SKIP IDENTIFIER CHECK feature is false(which was true in tomcat 6 and below) and I use "case" in regular expression and <strong>case</strong> is identifier so it throws error.</p>
  
  <p>I found following solution:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6233473/javax-el-elexception-the-identifier-return-is-not-a-valid-java-identifier">javax.el.ELException: The identifier [return] is not a valid Java identifier</a></p>
  
  <p>But it would not work for me because I don't want to make changes in my code. So I want solution to configure tomcat 7 to SKIP IDENTIFIER CHECK to true.</p>
  
  <p>Even after lots of googling I didn't find way to do this. I am using eclipse juno and tomcat 7, please help me regard this.</p>
