Apologies. I accidently sent this to the wrong mailing list. Will resend to the user mailing list.
From: George Stanchev Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 1:02 PM To: Tomcat Developers List <dev@tomcat.apache.org> Subject: jstl jar location I am hoping someone can shed some lights on a question. I did try to search online and SO but haven't had luck in figure it out so hopefully it is a quick answer from the people that know that stuff. We have an uber-lib folder where we keep shared libraries in our TC85-hosted app. If we put jstl-1.2.jar into that directory but not in the application /WEB-INF/lib directory, TC generates [1]. If I move jstl into the application lib folder, it works. I made sure jstl is excluded from jarsToSkip and included in jarsToScan. Is there any rule or switch that says that the JSP compiler cannot use the parent CL to resolve the jstl URIs?
