Jarring custom taglibs: looking for a file named taglib.tld

I have been been trying to jar up a custom taglib java class along with the corresponding tld file. However I keep getting an error indicating that it cannot find a file named "META-INF/taglib.tld".

I have followed instructions in this doc: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsp09023.html?ca=dgr-jw17j-jsp09023 yet it does not seem to work properly.

I created a file myjar.jar with files as follows:

    META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    META-INF/mytag.tld
    com/mycompany/MyTag.class

I put the jar file into my war file at WEB-INF/lib/myjar.jar

I put the following in web.xml:

  <taglib>

  <taglib-uri>

  http://mycompany.com/taglibs/mytag

  </taglib-uri>

  <taglib-location>

  /WEB-INF/lib/myjar.jar

  </taglib-location>

  </taglib>


The file mytag.tld contains the following:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

  <!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">

  <taglib>

  <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion>

  <jspversion>2.0</jspversion>

  <shortname>mytag</shortname>

  <tag>

  <name>myTag1</name>

  <tagclass>com.mycompany.MyTag</tagclass>

  </tag>


  </taglib>

I want the tld file to be packaged in the jar file along with the custom
class so that it is a reusable component, so I don't want to put it in
WEB-INF.

You could just put the tld in WEB-INF and reference it from the web.xml.

This is the entry in my web.xml for the taglib I use all the time:

<taglib>
        <taglib-uri>
    http://localhost/myapp/asl
        </taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>
           /WEB-INF/asl.tld
        </taglib-location>
</taglib>

asl.tld is physically present in WEB-INF.

Don't know if this helps, since it is not exactly what you are trying to do.
