Wrong tld-filename in utility.jar
Hi,
I found a minor defect in the directory structure of the utiliy.jar file.
The tag library descriptor in the directory /META-INF is named utilty.tld
instead of taglib.tld.
I took a look into the build.xml file and I guess I found the problem:
<!-- Compile the tag library itself -->
<target name="library" depends="prepare">
<copy file="${conf.src}/${taglib.name}.tld"
tofile="${build.library}/META-INF/${taglib.name}.tld"/>
<javac srcdir="${library.src}" destdir="${build.library}"
classpath="${servlet.jar}" debug="on"/>
</target>
I propose to replace the copy command with the following line:
<copy file="${conf.src}/${taglib.name}.tld"
tofile="${build.library}/META-INF/taglib.tld"/>
Greetings,
Christian

In JSP 1.1, tld in a jar file had to be called exactly META-INF/taglib.tld.
In JSP 1.2, the container can now accept tlds in the jar file's META-INF
directory as long as they end with the .tld extension. This way you can have
more than one tag library in a jar file.

Re: Wrong tld-filename in utility.jar

That's something I'll admit to being unsure about.
When I first started playing with taglibs, my impression was that you
could use anything.tld, but that if you put a file called taglib.tld in
the META-INF directory, then the jar became self-deployable.
So you just dump the taglib with taglib.tld file and it autodeploys
without needing a WEB-INF directory.
I never really saw it in use, so I've always assumed it wasn't a
possibility. Maybe Christian has the same view? Is it based in anything,
or just a common misunderstanding/poorly chosen example?

Re: Wrong tld-filename in utility.jar
Posted by horwat <Ju...@Sun.com>.
I looked in the web.xml for the utility taglib to verify the entry. Here it
is:
----
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/utility
</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>
/WEB-INF/utility.tld
</taglib-location>
</taglib>
----
"utility.tld" matches with the utility taglib's web.xml entry.

Perhaps I'm missing something (probably - I don't use this taglib myself),
but why should the tld file be named taglib.tld? It seems to me that
utility.tld is a more appropriate name anyway.
