JSTL and Apache tomcat 7

where to download the jstl files needed.I have downloaded jstl-api-1.2.jar and jstl-impl-1.2.jar instead of jstl.jar and standard.jar but they didn't work. And cannot download from "http://tomcat.apache.org/taglibs/standard/"

Those are the correct files. What exactly does "it didn't work" mean? Is the web.xml file set up correctly?

The required output was not displayed, while running the file jdbc.jspx, which should be the same output as the jdbc.jsp

Code for jdbc.jspx is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<jsp:root
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:sql="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql"
version="2.1"
>
<jsp:directive.page
language="java"
contentType="ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
/>
<jsp

utput
doctype-root-element="html"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
/>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>JDBC/JSTL test</title></head><body>
<sql:setDataSource driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/shop"
user="root" password="root" var="dataSource"
/>
<sql:query var="books" dataSource="${dataSource}">
select * from books
</sql:query>
<table border= "1">
<tr>
<c:forEach var="colName" items="${books.columnNames}">
<td><cut value="${colName}"/></td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${books.rowsByIndex}">
<tr>
<c:forEach var="col" items="${row}">
<td><c

ut value="${col}"/></td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</body></html>
</jsp:root>

And code for jdbc.jsp is as follows:

<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page import="java.sql.*"%>
<html><head><title>JDBC test</title></head><body>
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/shop", "root", "root");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from books");
%><table border= "1"><%
ResultSetMetaData resMetaData = rs.getMetaData();
int nCols = resMetaData.getColumnCount();
%><tr><%
for (int kCol = 1; kCol <= nCols; kCol++) {
out.print("<td><b>" + resMetaData.getColumnName(kCol) + "</b></td>");
}
%></tr><%
while (rs.next()) {
%><tr><%
for (int kCol = 1; kCol <= nCols; kCol++) {
out.print("<td>" + rs.getString(kCol) + "</td>");
}
%></tr><%
}
%></table><%
conn.close();
%>
</body></html>

What is the actual output? What is the desired output? Why are you using the XML JSP notation which is not meant for human processing? And, again, is the web.xml file set up correctly?

I again tried by reinstalling tomcat and pasting the libraries it worked well. but i don't know what went wrong. Thanks a lot for the reply.
