Where can I download JSTL taglibs? i.e. jstl.jar and standard.jar

You can find them both in the Maven central repo:

http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/javax/servlet/jstl/

http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/taglibs/standard/

Since JSTL 1.1 is out of life, Apache has put it in the archive. Pick the jakarta-taglibs-standard-current.zip file.

However, if you're running a Servlet 2.5 compatible container and the web.xml is declared as at least Servlet 2.5, then you should be able to use the new JSTL 1.2 instead. Note that JSTL 1.2 does not require a standard.jar.
