The current EA release of the JSPTL tags requires JSP 1.2, which therefore
requires Servlet 2.3. There is some talk about trying to create a subset
of these tags that would work on JSP 1.1, but it's going to be pretty
challenging.

Or one of the other containers that supports it. The specs are very
nearly finalized, so you'll see lots of folks supporting it soon.
One thing to remember about Servlet 2.3 / JSP 1.2 is that backwards
compatibility (to run Servlet 2.2 / JSP 1.1 based apps) is *required* in
the specs. Struts-based apps that work on Tomcat 3.x run just fine under
Tomcat 4, for example.
