Just upgraded from 3.8.2 to 3.8.3 (on eclipse 3.0.1) specifcally to be able to add JSTL 1.1 instead of JSTL 1.0 to an EAR web component.

But when I select 1.1 I get –

“JSTL 1.1 is not compatible with J2EE 1.3 specification.”

Not sure where how this has been set? – It says at the top of the dialog box –

J2EE Specification : 1.3
Servlet Specification : 2.3

I’m using JDK142_04 so I’m a bit confused as to what’s going on?

any ideas?

thanks

just noticed in my app’s application.xml this line –

<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC “-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN” “http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd”&gt;

No idea how it was set though? – is it safe to change to 1.4 & the dtd to 1_4 – my app is targeted to run on Weblogic 8.1 (sp3) if that helps?

Harry,
If you want to use JSTL with 1.3 spec, use JSTL 1.0. If you want to use JSTL 1.1, then you will need to change that file as well as your .mymetadata file (open Navigator View to see it).

& this in me web.xml

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC “-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN” “http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd”&gt;

totally puzzled?????????????/

Are you sure you are using MyEclipse and not Lomboz, WTP or some other web plugin?

[harryajh]

100% sure – why what’s wrong?

100% sure – why what’s wrong?

Everything seemed like it was all wonky and strange… e.g. the DOCTYPE above defines Web 2.3 and then specifies the 2.2 DTD, stuff like that.

Did you get everything working with my suggestion above?

[harryajh]

see what you mean now, still no idea how those settings were set as I certainly didn’t create the file manually.

Think what I might do is to create a brand new J2EE 1.4 EAR with ejbs & web components using myeclipse 3.8.3. Then copy source code in etc…

One more question, do you know if Weblogic 8.1 (sp3) supports this version? – can’t find it anywhere!

thanks

You mean supports J2EE 1.4? It looks like Weblogic 9.0 supports it: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/compatibility.html

[harryajh]

thanks once again, saved me alot of uneccessary work there!

I have to use Weblogic 8.1 (sp3) so it looks like if I want to use JSTL I’m stuck with 1.0!

cheers

No problem, I’m glad it helped.
