Your cd has JWSDP - this has JSTL 1.0. JBoss has Tomcat 5.0, this is enough for you to complete the assignment and develop most of what we will cover in the next two lectures. You may wish to download Tomcat 5.0 separately for convenience, since the Tomcat console is a bit more convenient than JBoss's (in my opinion). Tomcat, JSTL 1.1, and Struts 1.2.4 are all available from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi . This link will direct you to a mirror for the downloads. More on these next lecture.
