[JBoss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Re: Cannot get JSTL tags to print variable values.

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I solved the problem or I should say a really great customer support rep at Jet Brains and another support person at http://www.fuhrer.com/en/jbossplugin/.

The problem was that when I had set up my web module I had configured it to use version 2.3.  Version 2.3 does not support JSTL tags.  If you try to use them the data will be passed right through like it is a string.

Basically I removed the web module and then readded it using version 2.4.

My web.xml file now looks like the following.

  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | 
  | <web-app version="2.4"
  |          xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  |          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  |          xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" >
  |     <servlet>
  |         <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
  |         <servlet-class>com.dynix.webquotes.examples.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
  |     </servlet>
  |     <servlet-mapping>
  |         <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
  |         <url-pattern>/greeting</url-pattern>
  |     </servlet-mapping>
  |     <ejb-ref>
  |         <ejb-ref-name>ejb/hello</ejb-ref-name>
  |         <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
  |         <home>com.dynix.webquote.HelloHome</home>
  |         <remote>com.dynix.webquote.Hello</remote>
  |     </ejb-ref>
  | </web-app>
  | 

My JSTLExample.jsp files looks like this.

  |       </c:forEach>

In the web Modules setting in the Libraries(Classpath) window I have added the following Jar/Directorys.  I moved the jar and tld files from JAKARTA 1.1.2 unzipped folder before adding these jar/directory.

D:\projects\webquotes\jstl\lib\jstl.jar
D:\projects\webquotes\jstl\lib\jstl.jar
D:\projects\webquotes\jstl\tld

My project was created in the webquotes folder.

In the Web Module Settings tab of the web Modules window I made the following change under the Modules and Libraries to Package section.

Name                    Packing Method                    Relative 
jstl.jar                      Copy files to        /WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar              
standard.jar              Copy files to        /WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar
d:\projects\webquotes\jstl\tld Copy dir to   /META-INF/tld

After making these changes the JSTL worked.

I used the following.
Intellij 4.5.4
Jboss 4.01sp1
Latest JBOSS plugin
Java jdk 1.4.2_07
