If you download the latest version of JBoss w/ Jetty (jboss-3.2.1) it works great. I tried it in 3.2.0 too and just fine. I haven't tried Jetty pre-3.2.0 but I've heard that it used to not completely support JSP 1.2

Some time ago I tried to use standard-examples.war with JBoss 3.0.6 (which uses Jetty) and got very similar (or maybe identical, its been a while) errors. I posted (here I think) and got some info but never a "how to make it work" :-( I believe I saw in jetty in the stack trace in Karsten's original post. Maybe Jetty just doesn't play nice with JSTL? That would be terribly odd... > Hi Karsten, > > I can tell you that I'm using JSTL in exactly the way > you're describing, so it can be done. > > Which servlet/JSP container are you using?
