Problem printing output statements using c:out tag

Question

Hello All,
I am new to JSTL. For some reason <c:out >is not printlng "HelloWorld!" instead it is printing "{hello}"
<c:set var="hello" value="Hello World!"/>
<p/>
<c:out value="${hello}"/>
Here is how I have setup my jstl
1.I downloaded jakarta-taglibs-standard-current.zip from apache.
Copy jakarta-taglibs/standard-1.0.3/tld/c.tld to my WEB/INF/tlds directory.
2.Copied all the JAR files in jakarta-taglibs/standard-1.0.3/lib to myWEB-INF/lib directory.
Added the entry shown below to your WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor.
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
Can anyone please help me out fixing this problem?

Answer 1

hmm not sure.. sorry about the last code... the reason mine is the way it is is because I am including it locally incase the user doesn't have a connection to the internet just the intranet. as follows.
<taglib>
        <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location>
    </taglib>I don't know why yours is not working. Hopefully someone who is more knowledgable then me on the subject will have some ideas.
