Re: taglib - found

[Steve Buroff <sj...@lucent.com>]

Thanks to all for your help. I found the problem. It is tomcat.
I was using 3.1. I upgraded to 3.2 and now it all works fine.
That will teach me to keep up with the latest release.

  No, you have three options, in <%@ taglib ...>

  The uri could be "/somejar.jar" in which case the jar file needs a META-INF
  directory the contains taglib.tld.

  The uri could be "/sometld.tld" where the sometld.tld file is in a directory
  relative to your context.

  The uri could be "sometld" in which case you need an entry in the web.xml
  file that maps the tld "name" (sometld) to a tld file.

  Which version of Tomcat are you using, I've just tried your jsp and tld file
  on my machine and it works fine - of course it doesn't find the class, but
  the tld is parsed OK,
