After installing tomcat we need to configure
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true"
to allow the template page working properly.
The configuration here seems correct and
docker exec intermine_tomcat echo "$JAVA_OPTS"
return
-Dorg.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK=true
which is correct BUT the template page (and the query builder constraint popup) do not work (empty page) and in the log we have the javax.el.ELException.
