RE: JSP 2.0 and JSTL EL

JBoss 4.0.5 embeds Tomcat 5.5.x.
I've downloaded and am using JSTL 1.1 jstl.jar and standard.jar files.

I don't know where it could be picking up the reference.

Dick,

What Servlet and JSP specification version is JBoss 4.0.5 based on?

The compatibility chart for EL and web.xml I've known from experience is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
JSTL 1.2      works with Servlet 2.5/ JSP 2.1 which is the spec for Tomcat
6.0.x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
JSTL 1.1.x   works with Servlet 2.4/ JSP 2.0 which is the spec for Tomcat
5.5.x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
JSTL 1.0      works with Servlet 2.3/ JSP 1.2 which is the spec for Tomcat
4.1.x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

the web.xml web-app / DTD / Schema are different for each of the above
versions of the Servlet spec.

Tomcat has a useful reference chart
http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html which shows which version
of Tomcat uses which version of the Servlet spec, but I couldn't find
such a chart (after some searching) for JBoss.

-Regards
Rashmi
