This is kinda embarrassing since I've been using JSTL for quite sometime and yet still encounter problems such as this... I get the following error message when I use this directive:
here's the error message:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

I've already put the jstl.jar in my WEB-INF/lib folder and I'm using
Tomcat 5.5. This is really strange... I could be banging my head now... Please help... Thanks!
