I have Tomcat 5.0.19. I have downloaded the Standard-1.1 file. I have put jstl.jar and standard.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder. I have copied your code for creating a Servlet 2.4 web.xml file I am using the taglib directives as you have written: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core I've restarted Tomcat a few times.
Do I lose anything important by staying with the old JSTL? I haven't had much success with setting up JSTL and consider it a miracle that I got any part of it to work. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 12:20 PM To: Tag Libraries Users List Subject: RE: JSTL Function Library There's really nothing you need to do to the server*, just make sure it supports JSP 2.0. You appear to be using Tomcat 5, so you should be fine (you might want to make sure you've got the latest version: 5.0.19). As for your app, all you should need to do is download Standard-1.1 and place jstl.jar and standard.jar in WEB-INF/lib. Make sure you're using a Servlet 2.4 web.xml and that you're using the proper URIs in your taglib directives: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions *If you want to make use of the XML/XSLT tags, you'll probably want to download the latest version of Apache's Xalan and place xalan.jar and xercesImpl.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed.
