Description Nathan Abramson 2002-04-01 14:52:26 UTC
Currently the EL supports "quoted identifiers" in an effort to allow
property names that aren't strictly Java identifiers.  For example:

  request."validate-error"

A while ago it was decided that this syntax should not be supported,
and this should instead be done using:

  request ["validate-error"]

This bug is here to indicate that the quoted identifier support should
therefore be removed from the RI.
