here's the error i have got....

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory.getJspApplicationContext(Ljavax/servlet/ServletContext;)Ljavax/servlet/jsp/JspApplicationContext;
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:274)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

but the javax.servlet.jar does'nt not contain getJspApplicationContext... this method exists in jsp-api.jar . why is the wrong reference occuring. please help.

if may be cos of anyother thing please let me know with possible solutions.

What does it matter which jar file it exists in? Have you removed the jsp-api.jar file from the Tomcat lib folder?

That makes no sense. javax.servlet is a package, not a jar file. The servlet API is in servlet-api.jar.

Again, it makes no difference which jar file the class is in; both jar files are in Tomcat's class path.

Have you checked to make sure that both jar files are in Tomcat's lib folder? Are you sure you did not copy these jar files to your WEB-INF/lib folder? (which can cause all kinds of weird errors.)

Every JSP translates into a Servlet eventually. The above stacktrace does not seem to be complete. Can you please post the complete stack trace.
The issue here is not with the jsp-api jar. Something is wrong with your jsp page itself.
