Hello,

jsp newbie here... I'm having trouble starting off !!

I'm using tomcat 5..5.31,
I downloaded jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6, copied the files in jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\lib to web-inf folder of my application in \webapps\

Following is the exception:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:729)

here's my code:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
    

<html>
	<body>
		<c:out value="Hello, world !"/>
	</body>
</html>

Not sure what is going on here... after I refresh a few times, I get this :

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

I think the error is because of missing taglib entries in WEB-INF/web.xml file.

First verfiy that you have also copied the jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\tld folder into the WEB-INF

Now in web.xml file add the following entries,

<taglib>
   <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
   <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

Not sure why you did not downloaded Standard 1.1 Taglib that is on latest release 1.1.2

I downloaded jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6, copied the files in jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6\lib to web-inf folder of my application in \webapps\

Any jar files that you do not wish to share globally through Tomcat lib directory with other applications hosted on the server should be placed in TOMCAT/webapps/YOUR_APPLICATION/WEB-INF/lib
