There are two versions of JSTL: 1.0 and 1.1. What they don't tell you: you somehow get both versions in the same JAR file when you use JSTL 1.1! They only differ in the taglib definition line in your JSP. You will notice this if you use

but it is valid in 1.1.You can get the JAR File from
- J2EE 1.4: lib/appserv-jstl.jar
- Jakarta Taglibs
- for 1.0:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> - for 1.1:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
