Follow the steps mentioned below for this example
Step 1: Create Dynamic Web project
Open Eclipse and goto File -> New -> Project and select Dynamic Web Project in the New Project wizard screen.Select Dynamic Web Project and click Next.
Provide the name of the project as JSTLExample. Once this is done, select the target runtime environment (e.g. Apache Tomcat v6.0). This is to run the project inside Eclipse environment and click Next -> Next -> Next and Finish.
Step 2: Add jar files to build path of the project
Copy jstl.jar and standard.jar files to the lib folder of the project directory and add all jar files to the build path of the project.
Step 3: Create JSP files
Create two JSP files: index.jsp and welcome.jsp inside WebContent folder.
index.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Index Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="welcome.jsp" method="post">
FirstName:<input type="text" name="firstName"/><br/>
LastName:<input type="text" name="lastName"/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
welcome.jsp
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Welcome Page</title>
</head>
<body>
First Name:<c:out value="${param.firstName}"></c:out><br/>
Last Name:<c:out value="${param.lastName}"></c:out>
</body>
</html>
In welcome.jsp file we are using jstl core tag by writing taglib <%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" %>.Later we are displaying the output by using </c:out>
Output :
Enter some value and submit we will get welcome page as shown below.
