If you are using older version of Tomcat (say Tomcat 4.1) then follow the following steps to use JSTL in your program.
Different installation procedure has to be followed for Tomcat 4.x and Tomcat 5.x Containers. To use JSTL two files jstl.jar and standart.jar are required to be placed into WEB-INF/lib directory of the web application. Each web application must have this file. With Tomcat 5.0 these files can be copied from the examples folder webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/lib/ folder.
JSTL Installation on Tomcat 4.1
Here we are going to install the JSTL library on the tomcat 4.1.
This differs from Tomcat 5.0.x installation, as the tld files have to be copied in application folder at a particular location and entries for these
common/lib
in your
Tomcat installation (although you won't need all the jar files for our
project). This makes the JSTL jar files available to any of your Web
applications..tld
files to the WEB-INF
directory in your Web application.web.xml
file and add
the following entries:<taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/fmt.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/sql.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/x</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/x.tld</taglib-location> </taglib>
There are two versions of JSTL, each with their own URI.
For JSP1.2 Containers: (e.g. Tomcat 4)
JSTL1.0: <%@ taglib prefix="c"
uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
For JSP2.0 Containers: (e.g. Tomcat 5)
JSTL1.1: <%@ taglib prefix="c"
uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
Make sure you have installed the right version for your server, and are using
the correct uri.
