JspC compile JSP with JSTL

[Kelly Chen]

I just wonder if anyone have done this before. I am using JspC to compile JSP from the command line. It was working OK until I tried to use JSTL. As soon as I add the following lines to the to be compiled JSP
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %>

JspC starts to run into error. I debug a bit more into Jasper, the root problem is caused by a SAX exception

.....

I couldn't really make much sense out of the error message. the standard.jar is jakarta-taglibs, standard-1.0.2. I have been trying to use different version of dom/sax parser, different version of Jasper library. The result is all the same. Do I miss anything obvious?
I know Jasper supports 1.2 JSTL and it must have been worked from Tomcat, because I have seen UI page shows JSP with the core taglib without issue. I just couldn't figure why JspC couldn't do the same.
