Question

Hi I just got started with CloudFoundry and deployed a project. My project uses some rar files so how do I attach rar files to the deployed page that uses those rar files.

More Details:
My page is a jsp page and uses jstl. Because of the jstl rar files the container in this case Class Foundry cant find them. My jsp page has the directive <%@ taglib uri=”java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core”; prefix=”c” %> . If i add the rar files to the Webcontent folder of my eclipse project i still get the error “org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this applicationorg.apache..

Remember that Cloud Foundry is using Tomcat 6 as it’s Container. So a best test case for your situation is to test out your app with local tomcat 6.

Also I assume you have this in place already:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

Or if you manually include the JSTL jar:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
