installing JSTL behind firewall

[filbert]

I'm trying to install the Java Standard Tag Libraries on my WSAD local environment, but as soon as I call the taglib, I get this error:
JSPG0111E: Unable to open the tag library descriptor: Operation timed out: no further information
I was trying to figure out what could be timing out and my guess is that it is because the taglib is trying to access classes on a Sun server:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
But our network has a firewall set up so there's not way for my localhost to access an external URI. What do I need to do to get this to work??? And why can't i find any documentation on this???

This : <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
should be refering to the URI you defined in the web.xml file (ie):
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>;
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
My guess is that WSAD is trying to actually resolve that URI as a URL, which points to nothing.
