I am simply trying to get JSTL to work in my web app and I've had zero success googling & tweaking for the last 2 hours...I'm in need of some serious, *SIMPLE* explanations.
The last thing I tried was creating a netbeans web app which handles all of the JSTL jar dependencies automatically. The problem is; 1) I want to know how to do this w/o an
IDE and 2) I use eclipse and WTP for my development and there should be a simple way of doing it, but I haven't figured it out.
So, after creating the netbeans project I found the two libraries used for jstl, which are:
standard.jar
jstl.jar
In eclispe I copied those two libs to my webapp's lib folder and put them in
tomcat's common/lib folder. In eclipse I added the jars to my project's
java build path->Libraries screen.
I assumed this would take care of business but now I get this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to read TLD "META-INF/c.tld" from JAR file "file:/C:/Documents and Settings/me/My Documents/Projects/Portlets/.deployables/Portlets/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar": org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Failed to load or instantiate TagLibraryValidator class: org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV
Any ideas? What's the easy way?
Thanks!
