problem in jsp/jstl

[vasu]

hi
i am new to jsp and i am learning it from oreilly JSP by Bergsten, the
psoblem is that when i try to run an example from book
.....
1+2+3=<cut value="{1+2+3}">
....
then only template text appears
i m using tomcat 4.1 and download jstl1.1 jar files, is it the possible
reason that jstl result is not visible, also as i don't have any idea
of XML so maybe my web.xml is wrong, i also have another question that
can't we made our jsp pages outside tomcat installtion directory ?
plz. help me

Where did you put the jstl1.1.jar file?

No, you cannot run a JSP page outside the web app.

there is no jstl1.1 but jstl and there is another file called
standard.jar
i copy both of them in /common/lib and /webapps/Root/web-inf/lib
in /root/web-inf/ there was no lib directory previously so i made it
