AW: Usin JSTL from jakarta with tomcat and the new web.xml descriptors

Alexander, 

if you are using an up-to-date container (Tomcat 5.x) there is nearly
nothing you have to configure:
1. include standard.jar and jstl.jar to your WEB-INF/lib directory.
2. Address the taglibs on your jsps using the "official" URI, e. g.
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core for the core taglib

Thats it. You no longer need to configure web.xml.
