request not forwarding...

"[Servlet Error]-[/POCust.jsp(1,1) /POCust.jsp(1,1)The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.]"



I have a jsp that has a template applied to it. The first line of the template is...

jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" version="2.0">

That way I can use the JSTL core library because I'm doing a nice little <c:forEach> later on. But this keeps giving me this error every time I forward over to my .jsp page from my servlet. Does anybody know exactly what this means or a common mistake that would cause this? There isn't any code on my .jsp before the root except the template insert tag.

<%-- tpl:insert page="/template.jtpl" --%>

I would think that this is legal...right?

I got rid of that first xml reference and just did a

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

to include the tablib for the jstl tags.

I don;t know what you mean by this.

To enable the core JSTL library on your page you should be using a taglib directive.
