I wanted to know the difference between Library folder and web-Inf/lib folder during Runtime

Problem: I am using JSTL ,when i added the JSTL jar files in Library folder,it still showed errors in my JSP(during runtime),whereas after adding in WEB-INf/lib folder ,the errors got rectified.

If I remember, Library folder is used by Eclipse to compile your software (jdk) but WEB-INF/lib contains all librairies you need to execute your software at runtime.
