Robert Garverick commented on STR-3079:
---------------------------------------
The 'javaee.jar' is not the problem. Tomcat needs javaee.jar when it
compiles JSP code because this jar contains numerous classes that support
JSTL, i.e., javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.*. In older versions of JSTL, before Sun
started officially bundling it with J2EE, these classes were delivered in a
Jar file named 'jstl.jar'. In fact, the Struts 1.3.8 download includes an
ancient version of these JSTL classes in the Jar file 'jstl-1.0.2.jar'.
(The actual JSTL tag libraries and classes are J2EE's appserv-jstl.jar,
which replaces the old 'standard.jar', or as delivered in the Struts 1.3.8
download, 'standard-1.0.2.jar'.)
You are correct in that the javaee.jar does not necessarily need to reside
in WEB-INF/lib, but if not there, it must be placed into Tomcat's /lib
directory, or somewhere where Tomcat can find it otherwise Tomcat won't
successfully compile JSP containing certain JSTL functions because it won't
find the needed javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.* classes.
Now, that being said, remember that my original Tomcat 5.5 setup, which
included javaee.jar and appserv-jstl.jar as well as Struts 1.2, compiled and
ran my JSTL-laden application just fine. It was only when I dropped in the
new Struts 1.3.8 jar files that things started getting hosed up. And then,
when I upgraded my Tomcat, things started running fine again.

> Key: STR-3079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-3079
> Project: Struts 1
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Taglibs
> Affects Versions: 1.3.8
> Environment: Windows XP Struts/JSP application running in Tomcat 5.5
> web container
> Reporter: Robert Garverick
>
> After I upgraded my Struts/JSP application from Struts 1.2 to Struts 1.3.8
> (following directions in
> http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsUpgradeNotes12to13) the JSTL core taglib
> 'forEach' loops in my JSP pages will no longer compile under Tomcat (see
> exceptions below). Since the outdated JSTL version 1.0.2 Jar files delivered
> in the Struts 1.3.8 download (jstl-1.0.2.jar and standard-1.0.2.jar)
> completely killed my JSP application since they don't even support expression
> language, I replaced them with the same JSTL 1.1 Jar files from J2EE 5
> (appserv-jstl.jar and javaee.jar) that I used successfully under Struts 1.2.
> Under JSTL 1.1, all of my Struts taglib functions and JSTL taglib functions
> work fine except for the JSTL core 'forEach' tag. (I also tried newer JSTL
> Jar files from J2EE 5 update 2 and got the same results). I realize that
> this seems more like a JSTL than a Struts bug, but the only variable seems to
> be the Struts upgrade.
> Following are the first two of the series of exception messages I get the
> first time a JSP page containing a 'forEach' loop is invoked and Tomcat
> attempts to compile it to a servlet:
