The entire book

I purchased a copy of the JavaServer Pages book. The actual book between the covers is "Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition"

Some sort of manufacturing problem I think.

Example 5-1

I tried to execute the examples under Tomacat 6, but many of the examples (starting with chap. 5 JSP is easy) encounter the same error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:51)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:409)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:116)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.generateTLDLocation(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:315)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.<init>(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:148)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:429)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:492)

According to http://forum.springsource.org/archive/index.php/t-76052.html there is a bug in the container (I think) and one work around is by including the following in your web.xml
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:fmt="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"

I've tried this, but haven't been able to get it to work yet.

Thanks,
Mark
