Dear all
I cannot get the example code on p. 44 to work. When I point my browser at the jsp page I get the error
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to initialize TldLocationsCache: the system cannot find the path specified.
(and a cascade of further errors).

I know I have not configured something right, but cannot tell what.
I've got a Windows 2000 machine:
JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk
CATALINA_HOME=c:\tomcat5
CLASSPATH=...;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
(the book says servlet.jar, but another post to this forum has put me right)
I've downloaded JSTL 1.0.3, I've got a WEB-INF folder with subfolders classes and lib, and I've copied the JSTL tag libraries into the lib folder. I'm running Tomcat 5 with JDK 1.4.
I've found that TldLocationsCache.class is a class in tomcat5\common\lib\jasper-compiler.jar
Does that help anyone?

Thanks for any help
Charlie Howard

Problem fixed. I stopped using Tomcat 5 zip and installed Tomcat 5 .exe.
