Description Prabhakar Krishnaswami 2004-03-18 20:19:22 UTC 
When I am trying to access a JSP which has the directive as below:

<%@ taglib  prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"%>

I get the following exception:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: This absolute uri 
(http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt) cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar 
files deployed with this application

I am using JBoss 320 bundled with Tomcat 4.1.27 and I have both the jstl.jar 
and standard.jar in the WEB-INF\lib directory of the war file deployed.

Could you tell me why this exception is being thrown.

Here are the contents of my web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

This sounds like a version mismatch error (between JSTL and Tomcat). What
version of JSTL are you using? It should be 1.0.x, and not 1.1.x.

Anyway, I'm reassigning it to the proper component.
Comment 2 Felipe Leme 2004-03-25 03:00:23 UTC 
Prabhakar,

According to your web.xml, you are using JSP 2.0. Then you should be using JSTL
1.1, whose URLs are:

http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql
