basic JSTL question

These should be easy questions, but I can't find the answers...if 
someone could either answer them or point me to the right docs, I would 
appreciate it.

1. What is the proper uri for the jstl core library?  According to my 
JSP book it should be

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

but eclipse complains about unknown tags like <c:out>.

2. In another thread I learned that it is preferred not to use the 
struts bean tags  (Or are the bean tags ok, but not the logic tags...)
Do I want to use c:out or jsp:usebean to display the contents of an 
actionform?  How about a "normal" bean?

3. Can someone show me an example of using the c:out tag to display the 
contents of an ActionForm?

4. Same as 3, but for a regular bean set in the action via 
request.setAttribute ?

It's possible that if I fix #1, the rest will fall into place.  Thanks 
for any help!

It depends on what JSTL and Servlet spec versions you're using.  (And
the rest of the answers depend on this one.)

There is some information here to help you sort it out:

Never mind!  The solution involved some not-so-obvious steps

1. download and install the jstl (ok, this should have been obvious)
2. Change the top of my web.xml (this was not obvious...see 
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=629437&tstart=0)
3. read the docs on jstl and FormBeans

Thanks anyway.
