JSTL 1.0 problems

Question

Hi,
Been having problems getting the JSTL 1.0 up and running. Well, the example .war works fine but when I try to use the taglib in my own app I get aThis absolute uri (http://java.sun.com/jstl/core) cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this applicationI'm using tomcat 4.1.30 and jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6
There's no mention of taglibs in my web.xml file and I've placed jstl.jar and standard.jar in my apps WEB-INF/lib folder.
In my JSP file I have <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> at the top and the uri tag from c.tld is <uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</uri>
I've been fiddling with it for a while now and got rid of the error message when I placed the c.tld file in my WEB-INF folder and changed the include to <%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %> but I'd like to get everything to work as it should ( by just adding the jar files to the lib folder) What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Been having problems getting the JSTL 1.0 up and
running. Well, the example .war works fine but when I
try to use the taglib in my own app I get aThis absolute uri (http://java.sun.com/jstl/core)
cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files
deployed with this applicationI'm using tomcat 4.1.30 and
jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6
There's no mention of taglibs in my web.xml file and
I've placed jstl.jar and standard.jar in my apps
WEB-INF/lib folder.
In my JSP file I have <%@ taglib
uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> at
the top and the uri tag from c.tld is
<uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</uri>
I've been fiddling with it for a while now and got rid
of the error message when I placed the c.tld file in
my WEB-INF folder and changed the include to <%@
taglib uri="WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %> but I'd like
to get everything to work as it should ( by just
adding the jar files to the lib folder) What am I
doing wrong?Yeah, remove that c.tld from WEB-INF.
Did you copy the .jar files from the example war right into your app? Did you copy the correct directory Structure for you web app (which should be the same as a WAR)? Did you double check spelling and the like?
If yes to these, then just try to make a simple edit to your JSP page. This should force a re-compile of the JSP and maybe get you up and going.
Otherwise, I am at a loss. If the jars are in the [TOMCAT_HOME]/webappas/<appName>/WEB-INF/lib directory, then that is all I have ever had to do (TC 4 and 5)
