JSTL taglibs

Has anyone ever used JSTL tag libraries in any custom jsp pages? I am considering using these taglibs in some jsp pages that are used as callouts from TS templating, but had some configuration questions.

The use of the taglibs will require additional files (.tld and .jar) configured in a web application context. Some of the files for JSTL (standard.jar and xalan.jar) that were included in the JSTL download are mentioned on pages 78-79 of the UI Customization guide as libraries core to the TeamSite product and should not be replaced with newer versions. If that is the case, how would this work? Would it require these customizations to exist in a separate web application context from the content center web application?

Are you talking core JSTL or custom tag libraries? I have used the core JSTL with no problems -- the basics like <c:url/> and <c Smiley Surprised

You should be able to use JSTL core. And since Tomcat 4.1.x uses JSP1.2, you shouldn't have to even mess with TLDs, unless you're talking custom libraries. Don't quote me on that, of course.

Have you tried a HelloWorld jsp or anything? It should be easy enough to test -- If you add a JSP that uses the JSTL and try to build the web application, it won't compile if it ain't set up correctly.

I dunno - just thought I'd share what little knowledge I have.
