Does IBM Websphere 5.1.2 support jstl

Question

Guys i have included jstl and standard.jar in lib directory under classpath. It says absolute uri http://java.sun.com/jstl is not found either in web.xml or in application. please let me know how to configure in websphere 5.1.2

Answer 1

The right taglib URI depends on the JSTL version. Assuming you're using JSTL 1.1 (which would be the best choice for WAS 5.1.2 which runs Servlet 2.3), you need to specify taglib URI's as per this document . So, JSTL core should be specified as follows:

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

(note the extra /jsp path; this is added in JSTL 1.1 as opposed to JSTL 1.0)
