I was thinking that you could declare it on the application level and then not use the <%@ taglib %> in the JSP pages.
Thanks for clearing that up,

I thought I liked the idea of having the taglib in the web.xml file.
When I try it I'm getting "This absolute uri
(http://java.sun.com/jstl/core) cannot be resolved in either web.xml or
the jar files deployed with this application". Do I have to download it
somewhere in order to use it in the web.xml file? Any ideas?

OK, four things when dealing with ANY tag library:
1. PLACE JAR FILES
Place JAR files that hold implementation of the tag library in a directory where Tomcat will pick it up. Either make it "WEB-INF/lib/" (private) or "${CATALINA_HOME}/shared/lib" (all web-apps will have access to it). You could place it in "${CATALINA_HOME}/common/lib", but I don't see the point in Tomcat having access to those JARs. There was a discussion recently naming pros/cons of each choice (Craig), so look up the archives.
2. PLACE TLD
Place TLD files (Tag Library Descriptor) in either "WEB-INF/" or (if I recall correctly) "WEB-INF/taglibs/". The first placement will require for "location" in "web.xml" file to be absolute: "/WEB-INF/<name>.tld", while the second will allow for relative links: "<name>.tld"
3. DECLARE TLD IN WEB.XML
This part you've already seen.
<taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location> </taglib>
4. DECLARE TLD USAGE IN JSP
This you've seen
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
The prefix is up to you.
Nix.
