urgent: JstlBaseTLV.validate

(this is code that has been passed on to me and makes reference to Tag Libraries... any ideas?) Your urgent assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Safa

The following lines can be found in the web.xml:

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>URL</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/taglib/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>URL</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/taglib/c-rt.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

The appropriate .tld files (c-rt.tld and c.tld) are in the WEB-INF/taglib directory as well. And jstl.jar, js.jar, jstl-api.jar, cos.jar... can be found in WEB-INF/lib.

Thanks again, Safa
