I'm using JSTL 1.2 to populate a table from a servlet. I have included the right things in the web.xml and have imported the .jar file in the WEB-INF/lib. Also this is the only .jar file added to the folder and I'm running this on SAP HANA cloud server

web.xml:

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
         xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
         id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

the include in the .jsp page:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

What JSTL version do you have in your `lib` folder? – Rohit Jain Jul 17 '13 at 19:58
jstl 1.2.jar was added to the lib folder. Sorry I forgot to add that in my q – user1523627 Jul 17 '13 at 19:58
1) Which Servlet container or Application Server are you running this and 2) List all your jar files found in `WEB-INF/lib` folder. – Buhake Sindi Jul 17 '13 at 20:06
@user1523627, we need the **exact** name of the jar files listed. This can help us identify if you're just running a JSTL API jar or JSTL-IMPL jar or both. – Buhake Sindi Jul 17 '13 at 20:10
@Buhake Sindi I'm sorry. kinda of a noob. The exact name of the jar file i downloaded and used is "jstl-1.2.jar" – user1523627 Jul 17 '13 at 20:12
@user1523627. Apart from that are you having any other JAR files? – Rohit Jain Jul 17 '13 at 20:13
Also, is your project Mavenized? – Buhake Sindi Jul 17 '13 at 20:18
I have no idea what a Mavenized project is – user1523627 Jul 17 '13 at 20:19
@user1523627 The only possibility I can see here is you are including the older JSTL API somehow in your build path. If you have set your targeted runtime, check the `lib` of that runtime, whether it holds some conflicting JAR, like - `standard.jar`? – Rohit Jain Jul 17 '13 at 20:22
@Rohit Jain All I have is a md5 jar and even without it I still get the same error – user1523627 Jul 17 '13 at 20:29
