The first problem is that I do not know how to install the libs - i.e. I 
am not sure after reading the installation docs at this page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html
how to proceed: - how do I refer the tag libraries in XML JSP pages?

What I have done is:
1. Downloaded the binary distro of Standard Taglib version 1.1.2
2. Unpacked it
3. Copied all tld files from the jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.2/tld/ 
library to WEB-INF directory of the application
4. Copied jstl.jar standard.jar to WEB-INF/lib
5. Opened the web.xml file just to find that there is no <taglib> 
element since it uses the 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd schema. (So there is no 
need to declare taglibs in web.xml anymore probably?)
6. I don't know how to declare the used tag libraries in the XML JSP's 
in order to use them (which is my problem actually)
I presume that they should most probably be declared in the jsp:root 
element of the jspx file like this:

     <jsp:root 	
        xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"	
        xmlns:myprefix="URI_to_somewhere" 	
        version="1.2">
     </jsp:root>

What should be the URI then?
