Including tag libraries in a JSP

["Bill Manuel" <bill.manuel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am migrating an app from a servlet 2.3 container to a 2.4 container and I am having problems including tag libraries on the pages. If I include this on the page everything works fine:

<%@ taglib uri="
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

If I try to put all of the taglibs in one page and add that page to all pages using an include, the taglibs do not work anymore.  I don't get any errors, the tags just do not parse, they just show up in the page source.

I am including them on the page like this:  <%@ include file="/include/taglibs.jsp"%>

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
