I've just looked at the netbean tutorial(http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/mysql-webapp.html#getting) that was used as the basis for my application. It was for use with netbeans 5.5, which was bundled with Tomcat 5.5.17 I think. So going by what you have already said, my WAR file is unlikely to contain features of 2.5.
I know someone suggested I download ensure package the .jar files. But even if these files did not get packed into my WAR i remember explicitly installing these files into necessary folders on the my server space. This was done by suggestion of the host company. But still the JSTL tags were displayed with no apparent connection to the database. There must be a problem with the website Host.
