Deploying App On Windows Box

Question

I ve developed a simple web app that runs perfectly on a Mac OS box.
I now need to deploy this onto Windows - I ve set the majority of things up but have come across a problem where the JSP tags are not getting translated - So for example if you do c:out... - It actually prints c:out and not the translated text.
I have copied a version of standard.jar and jstl.jsr to the WEB-INF/lib folder - Is there anything else that would cause this?
I am completely lost at this

1) The webapp's web.xml must be declared to at least Servlet 2.3.
2) JSTL 1.1 JAR's (jstl.jar and standard.jar) in classpath (WEB-INF/lib is the usual place, yes).
3) JSTL taglibs in JSP must be declared with JSTL 1.1 URI syntax (i.e. no _rt suffix).
Nothing less and nothing more. If you still encounter this problem, then there may be something dirty or messed up somewhere in the configuration. E.g. duplicate JAR's of different versions in the classpath (take appserver's libraries in account), having extracted the JSTL JAR's and placed the loose TLD files in the classpath unnecessarily, having declared the TLD files in the webapp's web.xml unnecessarily, etcetera. Make sure that anything is clean and straight.
