and when i did some search i found that i need to download JSTL taglibs, i downloaded it but i don't know what to do with the files now, is there a specific folder i should put them so that my code runs fine?

From eclipse: 1.

Right Click --> properties --> Java Build Path --> Libraries -- > Add external jars

this will add jar to your eclipse biuld path

Right Click --> Deployment Assembly--> Java Build Path entries --> add JSTL jar

this will add the jar to WAR file when deploying it to the server.

Where do i put JSTL taglibs after downloading them
