how to use JSTL

No. absolutely wrong.

First, JSTL is NOT the same as the taglibs distributed with struts.

second, you don't need the tld files, or any entries in web.xml, all you need are the jar files.

JSTL can be downloaded from here.

There are two versions depending upon what servlet container you have.

JSP1.2 container(most servers) get JSTL 1.0: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-1.0-doc/intro.html

JSP2.0 containers(eg Tomcat5 - newer servers) get JSTL1.1
