+        How to Reference and Use JSTL in your Web Application</ulink> provides a 
+        useful guide to the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Note that as of
+        Spring 3.0, the minimum supported servlet version is 2.4 (JSP 2.0 and JSTL 1.1),
+        which reduces the scope for confusion somewhat.
