OK what I have done is transfer some of the standard taglib 1.0 examples to my webapp. I know these taglibs are working because I used the import and pulled up my ftp site. So I don't think there is anything wrong with my installation. I think the counters1.jsp is bum. I got that right out of the book by O'Reilly called Tomcat. And I don't think it works. That's par for the course with these books on programming. At least that has been my experience.
Here's their code: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %> <html> <head> <title>Counter Page</title> </head> <body bgcolor="white"> <%-- Increment Counters --%> <c:set var="sessionCounter" scope="session" value="${sessionCounter + 1}"/> <c:set var="applCounter" scope="application" value="${applCounter + 1}"/> <h1>Counter page</h1><p> This page has been visited <b>${sessionCounter}</b> times within the current session<br/> and <b>${applCounter}</b> times by all users since the application was started.</p> </body> </html> And here's the result: Counter page This page has been visited ${sessionCounter} times within the current session and ${applCounter} times by all users since the application was started. $40 for this and on pg 30. I'll just have to find a book with working code. I been through Wrox; Sun and now it look like O'Reilly is no different in publishing code that looks good on paper but fails in practice. Thanks for your attention on this. The install is fine. -- George Hester __________________________________ "Hans Bergsten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > George Hester wrote: > > OK I decided to try in the ROOT.
