I see that must be where the problem is. I had trouble with the sample web.xml entries... TOMCAT wouldn't start the DBTest app with the example as-is, so I commented out the part that caused the immediate heartburn and that has the 2.4 spec in it.
Here's the extract from the example. Would anyone like to tell me how to fix it (if I leave it as-is, not only is there no XML tag at the top, but I get a "XML document structures must start and end within the same entity." error)? I'll learn it some day, but if I had leisure, I wouldn't be asking for help... And if it's really wrong, should someone fix the documentation? Or is it just not a cut-and-paste candidate?

Well, I'd usually vote for a servlet/JSP page controller setup ;) but I may be able to help you: What's the doctype declaration in your web.xml? You must specify servlet spec 2.4 to have the JSTL functionality you desire. I don't have the exact syntax on me, but you can find examples all over the web. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
