Hummm... This error says that a dangling "scope" is not allowed for "setLocale" (i.e. having "scope" without "var"). However, I just checked the code for standard-1.0.2 and it *is* allowed (as the spec says). Could you try the following simple JSP and tell us if you get the error or not. <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %> <fmt:setLocale value="fr" scope="request"/> It works! -- Pierre > > Environment: jdk1.4.0_01-b03, Jakarta-Tomcat 4.1.12-LE-jdk1.4, > jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.2 (JSTL), jakarta-struts-1.0.2, JBuilder6, > Win2k > > The jsp is a minor variation of the struts example program (index.jsp).
