Yaaay! Finally an answer! Thanks Craig. I knew that substituting jars was not kosher, but I love to experiment. The approach actually worked 6 months ago when I was experimenting with implementing mail on my TC 3.2 server. I would "never,never,never" go to production with such a hair brained scheme! I thought I had seen somewhere that TC 4.0x was J2EE 1.3, but could not "refind" that information.
I was aware I could get javamail and that there was some extension (must be the one of which you speak) to use the mail tags in jakarta-taglib. The link specified in the taglib docs was dead - I assumed that sun just decided to wrap it all up into j2ee. once again, many thanks. "Craig R.
