The JSTL specification is currently in Public Review under the Java Community Process. You can read the public draft at http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/review/jsr052 Jakarta Taglibs hosts the reference implementation (RI) for JSTL, called the "Standard Taglib." It's currently in Beta 1, which matches the spec draft closely. The expectation is that final versions of both the specification and the RI will be released in about two months. In the meantime, if you want to experiment with JSTL, you can download the beta Standard Taglib at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-taglibs/releases/standard This includes some WARs of JSTL examples, individual JARs you can use in your own applications, and documentation. The draft spec, however, provides full information on the way JSTL is supposed to work. There's also a tutorial at Sun's site: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/JSTL.html I'm also writing a book on JSTL. It should hit stores this summer. -- Shawn Bayern JSTL reference-implementation lead Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
