Hi friends....

I am trying to test JSTL but encountering some error with uri which we are mentioning in our jsp.
Here is the code

HTML file :

<html>
<body>

<h1 align="center">Movie Page </h1>
<form method="POST" action="JSTLSelect.do">
<select name="movie" size="1">
<option>type-1
<option>type-2
</select>
<br><br>
<center>
<input type="SUBMIT">
</center>
</form>\
</body>
</html>
=========================================================================

Servlet File: JSTLSelect
package com;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;


/**
* @version 1.0
* @author
*/
public class JSTLSelect extends HttpServlet {


public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("JSLT Testing");
String[] movieList = {"mv-1", "mv-2", "mv-3", "mv-4" };
request.setAttribute("movieList",movieList);
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("JSTL_jsp.jsp");
view.forward(request,response);
}
}

hi
just check with the taglib element in the web.xml..
the error given is that no absolute path found in web.xml or in any jar file...so just give a try specifiying
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>coretags</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>http:\\..ur abosolute uri here</taglib-location?
</taglib>
in web.xml...and in the jsp page..where you import <%@ taglib uri="coretags" ....%>
so here it checks coretags with the absolute uri you have given in the taglib-location.....
this procedure we generally do for custom tags..but for jstl..once we include the neccessary files..there is no need for this procedure....as the container does automatically ..looks for its required files ....so just give a try..if it works.....hope i am clear..

regards

Vandu, no offense, but I'm not sure you know what you are talking about

Puja,
it seems that your container does not find the uri to the jstl taglib.
Make sure that standard.jar and jstl.jar are in your lib directory.

I think you'll find the following FAQ useful :

I got the output

The problem was the absence of JAR files. I have added them and my program is working fine.. .
Thanks for your help..
