Cannot get xml in JSTL 1.1 to work

["Premont,Bruno [CIS]" <Br...@ec.gc.ca>]

Hi,
 
I am running Tomcat 5.0.27 on both RedHat linux ES 3.0 and Windows XP.
Trying to run any jstl-examples jsp pages (that I got from the sun web
site), I get:
 
javax.servlet.ServletException:
com/sun/org/apache/xpath/internal/VariableStack
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageCont
extImpl.java:825)
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContex
tImpl.java:758)
org.apache.jsp.pages.views.site.site_005fcontent_jsp._jspService(site_00
5fcontent_jsp.java:86)
org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:94)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.ja
va:324)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:292)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:236)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

Trying to resolve the problem, I added a few .jar files I thought could
be missing (see files dated Sep 28).  But I get the same error.
