The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions cannot be resolved

Hi guys

I'm very new to JSTL, so forgive me if I ask anything obvious.

I am trying to find the length of a list which is returned to me in a hashmap.

I have included the taglib reference for functions :
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn" %>
And I am trying to find the length of myList like :
<c:out value="${fn:length(myList)}"/>
The variable myList is accessible as I am doing some other stuff with it before the above, which works fine. The other JSTL taglibs also work fine (core,fmt,sql...)

When I run my jsp page through Tomcat 5.5, I get the following error :
The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
Am I missing something in my web.xml or do I need to download the functions.tld or something?

Thanks
