Environmental setup Issue-EL

[Parameswaran Thangavel]

hi
Currently i am using Tomcat 4.0.

To run JSTL1.1 and EL, one should have Tomcat5.x, so i tried to install it and run my program.
but i got the error saying "This version of Apache Tomcat will run in J2SE 5.0" is that mean tom5.x, excepting higher version of JRE, if so what should be the version and from where i can download it.

Thanx

is that mean tom5.x, excepting higher version of JRE, if so what should be the version and from where i can download it.

You need java 5.X version. You can download it from Sun site.

Not Tomcat 5.x, it must be Tomcat 5.5.x

Just to make things absolutely clear.
Tomcat 5 is a JSP2.0 container (and as such uses JSTL1.1)
There are two flavours of Tomcat5

Tomcat 5.0.x - Can run on Java 1.4
Tomcat 5.5.x - Requires J2SE 5.0 (or Java 1.5 if you prefer) to run.

You have obviously downloaded Tomcat5.5, and as such also need to upgrade to the latest version of Java if you want to use it.

There is a compatibility package that will allow Tomcat 5.5 to run with JDK 1.4, but I'd recommend biting the bullet and upgrading to JDK 1.5.
