RE: A JSTL problem...

Carlos, I have the same problem as you. I'm running Tomcat 3.2.3, and I can't upgrade easily (at least not on my own because I'm not prolific in server maintenence) to 4.0.4. Be aware, though, that XTAGS will try to validate against DTDs. So, if an XML file you are parsing declares a DTD, then

RE: A JSTL problem...

Tomcat 3.x is not JSP 1.2 compliant. In order to use JSTL, you need to have a JSP 1.2 compliant container, hence your issues with Tomcat 3.2.2. Please install the latest Tomcat 4.x and try again. On Wed, 2002-07-10 at 12:52, Carlos Barroso wrote: > no. > i'm using tomcat 3.2.2 > > > > ---

Well, then that's why it's not working. As both Ryan and I have said already, you'll need to use Tomcat 4.x if you want to use JSTL, because JSTL needs JSP 1.2, and Tomcat 3.x doesn't support that. -- Martin Cooper > -Original Message- > From: Carlos Barroso [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >

RE: A JSTL problem...

You don't need to remove web.xml. You just don't need to arbitrarily drop x.tld in /WEB-INF. All of the relevant TLDs for JSTL are contained in standard.jar. Each TLD contains a element which contains the expected URL such as 'http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml', etc. If you drop this jar file int

RE: A JSTL problem...

That's because you're not using a JSP 1.2 container, as Ryan mentioned. Tomcat 3.x supports only JSP 1.1, so you'll need to move to Tomcat 4.x if you want to use JSTL. -- Martin Cooper > -Original Message- > From: Carlos Barroso [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 200

Hi, JSTL requires a JSP 1.2 compliant container, which as far as I know, Tomcat 3.x is not. Try again with the latest Tomcat 4.x. Additionally, if standard.jar is in /WEB-INF/lib, you will not need to drop x.tld into into /WEB-INF. On Wed, 2002-07-10 at 12:00, Carlos Barroso wrote: > Hi ag

RE: EL and RT...

EL is the Expression Language, which is new for JSTL. RT is the RunTime expression mechanism from JSP 1.x (i.e. things like <%= i++ %>). JSTL provides taglibs that work with both. In general, you'll probably want to use the EL, since it's cleaner and more flexible, and only use the RT tags if you

You can simply use XTAGS alone. There is no need to install JSTL since these are two separate tag libraries. Garrett Vlieger Carlos Barroso wrote:Hi there. I want to use xtags in my web application. Do I need to install the "Standard Taglib release 1.0" too? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For a
