http: //java.sun.com/ jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved

[Ellen Zhao]

am working on a MySQL + JDBC + JSP application.

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

my developing environment:

MySQL server 4.1 gamma
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.1 stable release
jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.1

when I load the jsp page, why forever and ever and ever, it says:

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml

I did put these three files in the folder
/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/lib/

jstl.jar

standard.jar

mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Ellen

Thank Sagar!

okay I just found out this machine doesn't have any CLASSPATH value set in the environment variables. I added the value %CATALINA_HOME%/common/lib/servlet-api.jar

and restarted tomcat. It works!

Ellen
