tomcat6-examples should depend on JSTL

[Mei]

Binary package hint: tomcat6

When running Tomcat6 from repos, it becomes quickly apparent that JSTL is not present. This problem was discussed here:
http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/JSTL-repositories--ftopict514769.html

It was fixed by Debian with release 1:2ur2-b04-4: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548242

Even though my system (Pentium M, 1Gb, Tomcat6, Lucid Lynx via upgrades) reports 1:2ur2-b04-6, Tomcat6 still is missing the JSTL libraries.

In Lucid (as in Debian), the Glassfish JSTL implementation is provided by the glassfish-javaee package (as glassfish-appserv-jstl-2ur2-b04.jar).

Note that JSTL is not part of the upstream tomcat6 distribution either. It is, however, packaged with the "examples" webapp. It's true that the "tomcat6-examples" package in Debian/Ubuntu does not provide jstl.jar (or standard.jar, for that matter). Is that the bug you want to report ?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I thought I was clear on the problem. The problem is that when the examples webapp is run, it fails because JSTL is missing - which it was never before.

If that is how it upstream, then so be it.

Thanks!

We should still have the right dependencies in place so that the examples webapp works as advertised.
