Standard: An Implementation of the JSP[tm] Standard Tag Library (JSTL) Release: 1.1 BINARY DISTRIBUTION Thanks for downloading this release of the Standard taglib, an implementation of JSTL. JSTL is an effort of the Java Community Process (JCP) and comes out of the JSR-052 expert group. For more information on JSTL, please go to http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl. We hope you find the tags, documents, and examples in this binary distribution of interest. The following two files are standalone web applications (WARs) that are designed to work out of the box in order to help you learn JSTL: standard-doc.war Documentation standard-examples.war Simple examples of JSTL tags To use this distribution with your own web applications, simply copy the JAR files in the 'lib' directory to your application's WEB-INF/lib directory. Then, import JSTL into your pages with the following directives: CORE LIBRARY <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> XML LIBRARY <%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" %> FMT LIBRARY <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> SQL LIBRARY <%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" %> COMPATIBILITY The 1.1 version of the Standard Taglib has been tested under Tomcat 5.0 and should work in any compliant JSP 2.0 container. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Please join the taglibs-user@jakarta.apache.org mailing list if you have general usage questions about JSTL. Enjoy! -- Shawn Bayern on behalf of JSR-052 (JSTL) Expert Group
