JSF 1.2: #{object.class.name} not allowed

[Mike Kienenberger]

I got this error earlier today.

/pages/notAuthorized.xhtml @42,172 value=" to access page
'#{page.unauthorizedPage.class.name}'" The identifier [class] 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.

It seems rather odd to me that ".class" is not an allowed EL
expression component since Object obviously implements getClass().
