Answer 2

We can also add following command to catalina.sh file under the tomcat_home dir/bin

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true"

Answer 3

Create a setenv.[bat|sh] file in CATALINA_HOME/bin (i.e. alongside all your other scripts) and set the system property in that file. On Windows you'd create setenv.bat with the following contents:

SET CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true

On Linux you'd create setenv.sh with the following contents:

export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true"

You can repeat those lines (changing the system property name) to set multiple system properties in the same setenv.[bat|sh] file.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

I had the same problem while migrating my present application to Tomcat 7 it is(jsf 1.2 with ice faces 1.8.2). I have solved it by including a bat file with name setenv.bat with the below content in it. 'SET CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true'

i have included it in TomcatInstallationDirectory/bin.

it is read by catalina.bat file. in the below line 'call "%CATALINA_BASE%\bin\setenv.bat"'.

Hence my jspx pages are rendered appropriately

I had went through the following documentation by tomcat:

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt

please do post all the solution you made
