Hi guys,

I am trying to use the jakarta JSTL implementation for a project that 
employs tomcat and the new web.xml descriptors. After reading the 
documentation, FAQ, searching google ant the mail list I still do not 
get is, so I am asking for some help.

Now onto the real config:

I am using tomcat: Apache Tomcat/5.5.20

I have downloaded Standard Taglib version 1.1.2 from here:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html

Then I read the documentation provided here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/binarydist.html

And realized that after copying the *tld and *jar files in their 
corresponding places - I have no way to describe them in web.xml for its 
scheme is here: http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd and 
there is no way to add a taglib declaration.

I saw that for example struts tags are repackaged in *jar files that 
have a special META-INF directory with a tld subdirectory.

I have read Appendix A of JavaServer Pagesв„ў Standard Tag Library 
specification from Sun but still do not get it - after copying *tlds and 
*jars - what is the next step to use the tags in XML JSP pages.
(This one came from here: 
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-taglibs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions)

Can someone help me - I am stuck.

Kind regards:
