i see. i'm using Tomcat 5.5.9 with servlet spec 2.4 right now. i will update to the JSTL found in the Jakarta Standard 1.1 Taglib distribution.
thanks, Wendy! :) the way JSTL exists right now does not help alleviate the confusion imho. please correct me if i'm wrong but for example, if you go to Sun's official page about JSTL (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl), you can find tutorials that dive right into JSTL, and also download API docs for JSTL. but nowhere can you find the actual TLD files (nor the standard.jar or jstl.jar) for download. yet, the Jakarta project seems to be the 'keeper' of JSTL, since the files required to use JSTL are found in the Struts and Standard Taglib distributions. there is no mention of this 'link' to Jakarta on Sun's website. even googling takes a while to finally find someone mentioning about where to get the files. does Sun not want to acknowledge Jakarta? why does JSTL seem to be a tucked away goody hidden away for those lucky enough to find it? is it just me? lol :p woodchuck --- Wendy Smoak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: "Woodchuck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > which is the 'official' version we should be using? > > It depends on what version of the Servlet spec you're using. > > Struts-EL goes with JSTL 1.0 on Servlet 2.3.
