Thanks Bear. Unfortunately I still have the unresolved JSTL URI problem. I am experiencing other weird voodoo with Tomcat so perhaps I have a deeper problem. I will make a separate posting or two outlining the other problems, hopefully someone can tell me what is going on and that will fix this problem as a side effect. I'm using a fresh vanilla install of the latest version of Tomcat on Windows XP, with no custom configurations, so I'm clueless as to why I am having so much trouble. I am having trouble 1) with redeployment of WAR files not being exploded correctly under the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory (I'm running
Ant war and copy tasks from within Eclipse), and 2) with an old, nonexistent version of a JSP page *sometimes* being displayed instead of the current JSP page which is used as the view by my Spring MVC application (I have cleared the cache of the browser but this doesn't help). Furthermore when I kill Tomcat and start it again the Tomcat manager shows active sessions for the application, which maybe has something to do with the problem #2 above. How any of this relates to the problem of not being able to resolve the JSTL URI is not clear to me, but hopefully I'll be able to find out and I'll update this
thread with the information.
