[S1] The proper way to define taglibs in a jsp file

["Crawford, Preston" <Pr...@acs-inc.com>]

So I'm helping my company clean up some JSP files, things like that and I'm
seeing declarations like this.
 
<%@ taglib uri="/bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/html" prefix="html" %>

Now I know there is a way to do these same declarations (we're on struts
1.2.9) without actually having to install the TLDs into our build process.
I've been Googling to figure out the "right" way, but I'm finding different
URLs. So I thought I'd ask if someone knew what the proper way to declare
these ways or point me in the direction of a site for 1.2.9 so that perhaps
I could make these declarations without having to declare the URI in
web.xml, etc.

The ability to automatically find TLD files is a feature of the web
container, not of Struts. If you're using a 2.3  container, the tag
libraries will be found under the URI that's specified in their DTDs.

While I may be wrong, I think between Struts 1.2.9 and 1.3.5, Struts
switched from jakarta.apache.org to struts.apache.org and thus you find
different URIs between versions. As for the URIs you see above, those are
from developers defining the location of the TLD explicitly in their web.xml

You can search through all your documentation, but there's a more
"direct" (some might say indirect, but whatever) way.

Open up the jar file that the taglib refers to, using winzip, the
Eclipse Zip Editor, or whatever. Select the TLD file.  Open it into a
plain text editor.  Find the "uri" element.  Use that.
