Hiya,

I am trying to start using JSTL in my UI and I have downloaded the taglibs and placed the JSTL.war and the Standard.war in the Common/lib directory of my Tomcat server. I have created my web.xml and put the directory where the tld files are mapped to. but I am getting this error: -

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV

Hello, havent started using jstl myself, but it seems strange to put a .war file in the Common/lib directory, I have only ever added .jar files, are you sure you are supposed to add .war files?
