using jsptaglibs to include content from another web application

Hi,
I have spent a few days trying to figure out a solution to this and would really
appreciate some pointers to what I might be doing wrong.

In my freemarker template, I need to include the content from another web
application using jstl jsp tag library. 

Within a jsp, I have been able to make this work by using 

      <%@ taglib prefix='c' uri='http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt' %>
      <c:import url="<%=url%>" context="/public"/>

In my ftl, I tried the following 

<#assign c=JspTaglibs["http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt"]>
<@c.import url="someurl">

and included the following in my web.xml 
 <listener>
  <listener-class>freemarker.ext.jsp.EventForwarding</listener-class>
</listener>

but it isn't working and it seems that by including that listener my web
application fails to deploy on tomcat and I don't see any errors in the logs.

Has anyone been able to get this to work. Can you see anything obvious that I
might be doing wrong or something I should have included and haven't. 

I would really appreciate any help on this. I have some files that are in a
different web application and would like to be able to include the contents in
my current web application.


I am using Spring 3.0.3.RELEASE with freemarker 2.3.16 and tomcat 6.0.26

Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Deepa.
