Re: Why must I supply standard.jar and jstl.jar myself? (Tomcat 5)

Ah, I kept digging and digging (believe me, I dug long and hard before 
posting) and I see you had the same question last summer, nicely answered here:

Thanks for the clarification that Tomcat is not the RI.  I still think 
these JARs should be included in common/lib.

FYI... Tomcat is NOT the RI for Servlets and JSPs.  Read it at the message 
below (at the bottom of the message).

I'm using the Jakarta Standard Taglib implementation of JSTL 1.1 with 
Tomcat 5.0.18.  The Standard Taglib documentation clearly states that one 
must place standard.jar and jstl.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the 
webapp (which works fine for me).  Alternatively, I can place these JARs 
in shared/lib and things work fine.

I'm wondering why these are not included in the Tomcat 5 distribution, 
especially given that Tomcat is the S/JSP RI.

Note that the Sun J2EE SDK 1.4 does include JSTL 1.1 support out of the 
box, though it's a single JAR file:
appserv-jstl.jar

Note also that appserv-jstl.jar appears to be the amalgamation(?) of 
jstl.jar + standard.jar.
