Correct. From Sun's JSTL page: "The JSTL 1.2 Maintenace [sic] Release aligns with the Unified Expression Language (EL) that is being delivered as part of the JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.1 specification." As you said, it's the EL that's part of JSP 2.1, not JSTL. I can think of several reasons why Tomcat doesn't include JSTL libraries: 1) Different implementations may produce slightly different results; Tomcat should not lock developers into a specific one. 2) Different webapps may require different versions of JSTL. 3) Apache may not have a redistribution license for non-Jakarta implementations (e.g., the Sun ones that are part of Java EE and JWSDP). Finally, a note from the Jakarta Taglibs web page: "Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the JSTL specification are implemented here. Version 1.2 is not and there are currently no plans for JSTL 1.2 to be implemented at Jakarta - instead we advise you to investigate the implementation available from the Glassfish project under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)." - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
