I had never done that before. Writing the web.xml as a total newbie to web app dev was a matter of guessing, copying and pasting...
It ran well at first, but JSTL slapped me... ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Karsten,
I took a look at your app and I know exactly why you're having all the problems you are: your web.xml file is not correct. It doesn't match the DTD, so the parser is throwing exceptions before you ever try to process a page. I've attached the corrected web.xml.
Once I corrected the problems I was able to use JSTL with your stuff in Tomcat.
You can find out about these things from the Tomcat logs. I'd get into the habit of looking there first when you run into problems.
I'd also recommend a good JSTL book before going much
further. I like Shawn Bayern's "JSTL In Action" by
Manning, but there are others out there.
Good luck. - MOD
