title: First time use of Tomcat and the Stripes framework
body: <p>I recently decided to try some java web development, so I installed xampp, the tomcat add-on, and java. I have looked at some of the JSP page examples that came with it, so I know that tomcat is at least working. <strong>However when I threw the stripes folder into the same examples directory and tried to access the files I received the following error.</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The
    absolute uri:
    <a href="http://stripes.sourceforge.net/stripes.tld" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://stripes.sourceforge.net/stripes.tld</a>
    cannot be resolved in either web.xml
    or the jar files deployed with this
    application</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>Now, I am a complete beginner when it comes to using tomcat or jsp pages in general.</strong> I may have missed some trivially easy step. I have searched the web for a few hours and I haven't found a very good tutorial on how to set up and start using the stripes framework. <strong>So let me know if you have any input or links to help me resolve this issue and get started coding.</strong></p>
