retreiving String array from servlet

i have a servlet file

1) BeanTest.java

and a jsp file

2) result2.jsp

i put the files in the following locations
1)BeanTest.class(webapps\myApp\WEB-INF\classes)
2)result2.jsp(webapps\myApp)
3)jstl.jar(webapps\myApp\WEB-INF\lib)
4)standard.jar(webapps\myApp\WEB-INF\lib)

and i am using jsp2.0 servlet 2.4 and tomcat 5.5

by running the files i am getting this error
exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax/el/ValueExpression
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:272)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
BeanTest.doPost(BeanTest.java:13)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:709)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

root cause

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/el/ValueExpression
java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)

how to solve this?

I think you are using jstl1.1 and search the jar which has javax/el/ValueExpression ;add it to the classpath. probably you need to add el-api.jar

thanks Seetharaman,
yes i am using jstl 1.1.
i added el-api.jar in lib folder, but now i'm getting this error.

how can i get rid of from this problem.

[not sure]might be wrong version of el-api.jar

Is there anything in standard.jar that might cause a conflict with jstl.jar?

You're all barking up the wrong tree.

The javax.el package has nothing whatsoever to do with the JSTL -- it's part of the EL, which is part of JSP.

The javadoc for this class shows that it was added with JSP 2.1.

So the question is, if you are using Tomcat 5, which supports JSP 2.0, how is something trying to reference a JSP 2.1 class which will exist only in Tomcat 6?

The answer:

i added el-api.jar in lib folder, but now i'm getting this error.

In other words, you have completely screwed up JSP and your Tomcat installation by copying jars that you should not be mucking around with. Remove that jar and start over. All you're doing is making a bigger mess.
