The test worked. My original jsp pages still have the same problem. I should be able to figure it out. Thanks a lot.

On the other hand, if your app still needs to run under Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 then you should stick with JSTL 1.0. I'm not sure why you can't get JSTL 1.1 to work, but try a simple test app like this: index.jsp: ---------- <%@ page contentType="text/plain" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"; %> <c:set var="str" value=" test string "/> str: [${str}] str trim: [${fn:trim(str)}] WEB-INF/web.xml: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> WEB-INF/lib/: ------------- jstl.jar standard.jar Your output should look like this: str: [ test string ] str trim: [test string] Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > I have Tomcat 5.0.19. > I have downloaded the Standard-1.1 file. > I have put jstl.jar and standard.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder. > I have copied your code for creating a Servlet 2.4 web.xml file > I am using the taglib directives as you have written: > http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core > I've restarted Tomcat a few times. > > Do I lose anything important by staying with the old JSTL?
