Thanks for the reply.  I am looking on help with Tomcat 5.x.  I was trying
for a while on Tomcat 4.x with no luck.  We are building a new server so I'm
installing 5.x.  This is why I had questions for 5.x.

What I found out today is:
No.  Tomcat 5.x does not have jstl as a part of it, you need to install it.

I'm a little confused because your first sentence implies you need help
getting JSTL to work on Tomcat 4.x but your last sentence asks for help
with 5.x.  If the following isn't what you're looking for feel free to
clarify.

 From the JSTL documentation:

NOTE: Standard-1.0 (JSTL 1.0) requires a JSP container that supports the
Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 specifications. Jakarta
Tomcat 4 supports these specifications. The Standard 1.0 taglib has been
tested with Tomcat 4.1.24.

Standard-1.1 (implementation of the JSTL 1.1 specification) requires a
JSP container that supports the Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages
2.0 specifications. Jakarta Tomcat 5 supports the new specifications.
The Standard-1.1 taglib has been tested with Tomcat 5.0.3

So - in short:

1) JSTL 1.0 requires JSP 1.2 (and thus Tomcat 4.x AND ABOVE)

2) JSTL 1.1 requires JSP 2.0 (and thus Tomcat 5.x AND ABOVE)

3) So you need standard-1.0 (which implements JSTL 1.0) for Tomcat 4.x.


Hope that helps,

David
