problems with install

[e <li...@medusadigital.com>]

I've downloaded the standard taglibs from 
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/taglibs/standard/
I am having issues with getting them to work.

I am using the following in my jsps:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

If I don't declare the taglibs in my web.xml file, I get:

Fatal error: http://java.sun.com/jstl/core: Failed to find taglib for an 
absolue URI 'http://java.sun.com/jstl/core'.
Fatal error: /WEB-INF/tiles/content/menu.jsp (5): TagLib 
declaration  prefix='c', uri='http://java.sun.com/jstl/core' failed, 
reason: Failed to find taglib for URI.

If I do declare them as follows, I get errors...

	<taglib>
		<taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
		<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location>
	</taglib>

Anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have J2EE 1.2.

Thanks.

Hi,

That's because you are using a JSP 1.1 container (and JSTL requires JSP 1.2).

JSP 1.1 containers doesn't recognize automatically the TLDs in the jars.

The TLD DTD has changed from JSP 1.1 to JSP 1.2.

There you go. You probably need J2EE 1.3.
