Thanks to all who helped me... and thanks to Kris who helped me clean a lot of junk out of my app to help narrow down the problem! It turns out that it was the version of taglib I was using. I still don't entirely understand the link/directory structure under the jakarta binaries download page. As I understood it, the "standard" directory was the latest JSTL spec which needs a JSP 2.0+ container.... and "standard-1.0" directory was what I needed for Tomcat 4. I guess that holds true but I did something funky with the CVS branch builds? I dont' know. I got the nightly build because I couldn't figure what the heck was going on with that directory structure under "Realease Builds/Taglibs" link. If you look under taglibs/standard-1.0 under there, you get nothing. What finally fixed the problem was going to "taglibs/standard".... which I thought was supposed to be the newer JSTL which I could not use.... and it does not help that file names are truncated on the page! All of this despite the fact that I was using taglibs/standard-1.0 directory from the nightly build I had retrieved earlier. This probably makes no sense to anyone reading this... I don't know how to explain it. Either that download section is screwed up or... more likely... I just don't get it. Either way, it's working now... thanks again!
