Well, if your taglibs are working properly (I assume they are, since your
JSP page runs without any hiccups with the taglib declaration in it), then,
to print out the firstName property of the formToValidate "bean", you would
do...

<c:out value="${formToValidate.firstName}" />

Yes, they ACTUALLY named the tag "c:out"!  Must have been a C++ programmer
at one time! :-)  In protest, I usually use a different "prefix" for the
JSTL core library.  Anyway, there is a good book out called JSTL In Action
by Shawn Bayern (Manning Publications), if you're looking for a reference.

J Cameran:

Exactly the answer I was hoping for!!  Can you show me
 how to integrate jstl with my jsp page.  I have only
scratched the surface with jstl documenation and I
need an example to get started.

For everyone else...
I would use a framework except I would rather learn
from scratch. Later on, if I decide to use a framework
I try it out.

thanks again.
