I have Tomcat version 5.0.28, and I am trying to use the JSTL tags in my
webapp. I have placed the 2 required JSTL jar files, "standard.jar" and
"jstl.jar" into my WEB-INF/lib directory.  

The bizarre thing is that some of the JSTL standard tags work, and some
don't!  Even stranger, it doesn't break down by taglib--in other words, half
of the "core" tags work, and half don't. Half of the "fmt" tags work, and
half don't. 

Most importantly, <c:out  > works just fine, and with the EL, properly. 
However, none of the selection or conditional tags work: <c:if , <c:when,
and <c:choose  tags all throw weird, indecypherable Jasper exceptions at JSP
compilation time.
Why would only some of the <c: tags throw exceptions, and not all of the <c:
tags.

Now, to rule out the possibility of syntax errors in my source, I
copy/pasted a complete JSP example from Sun's own website, which ostensibly
should work.  Even with Sun Microsystem's own JSPs, these conditional <c:
tags throw the weird Jasper exception.   I've pasted an excerpt of the stack
trace thrown by any occurrence of <c:if ....   in any of my JSPages:
