Jetty 7 hightide distribution, JSP and JSTL support

Question

I\'ve been struggling with Jetty 7 and its support for JSP and JSTL.

My JSP file:

<%@ page language=\"java\" contentType=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\"          


        

Answer 1

The reason why http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core doesn't work is because the code in the Jasper Jsp parser used by Jetty (org.apache.jasper.glassfish:jar:2.2.2.xxx) assumes that that uri is a systemuri (see TldScanner.java) and it will not put any taglibs with this uri in its tablib location cache. I don't know why this assumption is in the code but it is. Seems to be a bug to me.
