JSTL: JSP's and Tomcat

843836Dec 20 2003 — edited Dec 23 2003
I'll admit that I'm am way over my head on this, but I am either too low on twinkies to figure this out or I'm just dumb. I'm very new to JSP's and just as new to Tomcat and like many, new to Webservices as a whole. I have been following the new tutorial on webservices and have had very good luck on using the pre-built war files that came with the download, however, compiling either the tutorial files or my own have not worked out for snot.

Now, remember that all the "installed" examples work fine. It is my own attempts that seem to fail. No errors or problems with ant . . . my trouble seems to be with the tags. They do not seem to be evaluating in the prescribed manner. I can set and get data from beans just fine, but I'd really, really, like to use this tag technology.

Example:

<table size="${3}">
<c:forEach
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
var="counter" begin="1" end="${3}">
<row>${counter}</row>
</c:forEach>
</table>

This displays a single "${counter}" on the page. No number just the text of the expression.

I'm trying to use JSTL 1.1, Tomcat 5.0 and JWSDP 1.3 on Windows XP.

I've been reading to death pages here and at jakarta but, seems that I'm missing something - hopfully something simple. Any help - or extra twinkie would be appreciated!
