Hello, Fabian.

We are using the JSTL 1.0.6 packaged with the OpenCms distribution
without problems.
For example, if we need to use the core tags we include the following
line in the JSP:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

We didn't need to copy any file nor to modify the "web.xml".

Do you need to use a higher version of JSTL?

I hope that helps you.
Regards.
