I think you also need standard.jar in your lib. Add that and check it out.

I am not sure what you posted is the complete code but if not, have you added this taglib directive in your code ? Something like

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

Yes, in your jsp file, preferably at the top of the page but definetely before you use the c:forEach tag.

That usually means that jstl.jar is not in the WEB-INF/lib. But, since you say it is, go to TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost and delete the relevant directory. Next, make sure you have the 2 jar files in your WEB-INF/lib,restart tomcat and see what the result is.

Ritu,
Still it is not working.

I think the problem is with the jar file.
Anyway thank you for your help

Hi

You hav to make some changes in the web.xml.Add this line and try.

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="2.4">

Thanks

in my web.xml and JSTL is working fine.

Put appropriate tld files to WEB-INF directory and to web.xml add


jstl.jar and standard.jar put into the WEB-INF/lib/

in jsp
