Answer 1

If you are using Eclipse, for example, you have to add the folowing line to catalina.properties in Servers folder, (look for it in Package Explorer, and select your corresponding Tomcat folder):

org.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true

Remember that Eclipse uses different location for configurations rather CATALINA original directories.

It's worthy to take a look on Tomcat's properties page, at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html
