JSTL files problem

wechang · December 14th, 2003, 09:39 PM

Hello,
I am having an extremely hard time trying to find out where I can get the complete set of JSTL files. I went to http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jak...ases/standard/ and I downloaded the latest and greatest version of jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.0-B1. The problem is, the files contained within the lib folder are missing some vital files that require me to compile the request header example (Beg JSP2.0 p. 43-Viewing Request Headers) There is a folder called old-dependencies that contains:
dom.jar
jaxp-api.jar
jdbc2_0-stdext.jar
sax.jar
xalan.jar
xercesIml.jar
jstl.jar
standard.jar

HOWEVER, where the heck is the:
jaxen-full.jar
saxpath.jar

It seems that when I run the request.jsp page, I only see a partial listing of information in the header column, and I see no informationlisted in the value column. Please advise. I am ready to pull my hair out!!!! Thanks!

I downloaded the file you describe and copied the contents of "lib" from the archive to my project's WEB-INF/lib folder. I did have to change the uri on the taglib based on example code I found on another site. Here's code that I just entered that works on my system:

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<title>JSP</title>
</head>
<body>
 <c:forEach var="head" items="${header}">
 Header ${head.key} contains ${head.value} 
 </c:forEach>
</body>
</html>

Hello,

I'm trying to do the same excercise but stuck on declaring the jstl tablib.

I tried using the following declarations:
1) <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" prefix="c" %>
2) <%@ tablib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

Tomcat will then throw this error page:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

I'm using Tomcat 5.0.28, J2SE (j2sdk-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe) and JSTL (jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.1.zip) on a Win98 system.

I've copied the contents of the jstl lib contents (i.e., jstl.jar and standard.jar)into my apps web-inf/lib folder.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

This is a continuation to the post above. I found out that if I placed the same file in the Root folder, it works. But when I place the file in a separate folder, it doesn't work anymore.

It works fine for me. i am using the following packages to build my programming platform:
j2sdk1.4.2_08
jakarata-tomcat-tomcat-5.0.28
jakarata-taglibs-standard-current

and the config directory:
/usr/local/jdk
/usr/local/jdk/tomcat5
/usr/local/jdk/jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6

rightly run "Viewing Request Headers" example, following the below instructions:
1. create a folder called RequestHeaders under webapps
2. create a folder called WEB-INF under RequestHeaders
3. create a folder called lib under WEB-INF
4. copy all the JSTL files (jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6/lib/) into the lib foler under WEB-INF
5. create a file called request.jsp under RequestHeaders Directory.

finally, open ur web browser, and navigate to http://localhost:8080/RequestHeaders/request.jsp, my screen as the below:

You sent the following request headers:
Header Value
accept-encoding gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9
connection keep-alive
accept-language zh-cn, zh;q=0.50
host localhost:8080
accept-charset GB2312, utf-8;q=0.66, *;q=0.66
user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
accept text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,video/x-mng,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif;q=0.2,text/css,*/*;q=0.1
keep-alive 300
