The TLD is usually packaged with the Jar files for the JSTL. First of all, make sure you are getting standard-???.jar and jstl-???.jar in your war. Then, do the following on standard.jar to convince yourself the tlds exist:
jar -tf standard.jar You should see something like the following: ... a bunch of classes ... META-INF/c-1_0-rt.tld META-INF/c-1_0.tld META-INF/c.tld META-INF/fmt-1_0-rt.tld META-INF/fmt-1_0.tld META-INF/fmt.tld META-INF/fn.tld META-INF/permittedTaglibs.tld META-INF/scriptfree.tld META-INF/sql-1_0-rt.tld META-INF/sql-1_0.tld META-INF/sql.tld META-INF/x-1_0-rt.tld META-INF/x-1_0.tld META-INF/x.tld Now, in order for your servlet container (Tomcat?) to find them in the jar, it has to support Servlet API 2.3 or 2.4 and you have to configure your web.xml to be compliant with the 2.3 doctype at least. I'm using 2.4, so the first few lines of my web.xml look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> If you already have a <web-app> element, replace it with the above. And remove a <DOCTYPE> entry if one exists. If you can't do 2.4, you'll have to do some googling for help with 2.3. If you can't do 2.3, you'll probably have to extract the tlds from the jars, but I'm not sure how that would work with Maven.

It seems like this should be pretty simple. I use maven (1.0.2) genapp struts to create the app. Include a JSTL dependency to get the jar files My jsp page has these definitions <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql"; prefix="sql" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %> I tried a dependency like <groupId>JSTL <artifactId>C <type>tld but get build errors that c-.tld could not be found? And I couldn't find any other examples. This has got to be a simple problem; sorry I'm not getting it. Any help would be greatly appreciated Greg Akins Software Engineer Sony Electronics, STP Systems 724.696.7322 (Sony) 724.696.6147 (AV) 724.454.7790 (Cell) 412.590.3973 (Pager) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
