Did you put the jstl-1.2.jar in WEB-INF/lib?

(Note: do not copy any of the other jars to WEB-INF/lib, only the JSTL jar)

No one said anything about the build path. All the jars need to be on the build path.

WEB-INF/lib has nothing to do with the build path. It's what is used at run time. The build path is meaningless at run time.

Remove them. All but the JSTL jar.

Putting those other ars in WEB-INF/lib will cause no end of class loader problems. Tomcat supplies those files at run-time.

I would suggest to start simply.

#1: Get a "Hello world" JSP page to display with just static text, and nothing else. Here is one of the basic diagnostic pages I use regularly:

#2: Add an EL expression to the page to ensure that works

should produce "2 + 2 = 4"

#3: Add JSTL library and a JSTL tag

NOTE: you have been using the OLD uri for JSTL. Make sure you use the new one like in the example here.
(Note the subtle addition of the "/jsp" in the middle of it)

Hi Vani,

Can you please try with following ?

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

HTH.

Thanks,

Thanks Stefan and Sagar for your help.

I could solve the problem by doing fresh start and updating URI with adding JSP, actually i did tried with new URL too but that time it did not worked,

But now with only one JSTL jar and new URI it is working fine, this was my first question and could solve problem so thanks for now and future for more questions.

So I left, I came home, and I ate some pie. And then I read this tiny ad:
