Taglib URI

[Joerg Brunsmann <jo...@FernUni-Hagen.de>]

Hi,

I was playing with

  examples/jsp/simpletag/foo.jsp

and discovered that the uri of the taglib
directive is:

 uri="http://java.apache.org/tomcat/examples-taglib"  

Is the assumption correct that this uri is a hard 
wired map to the file

./examples/WEB-INF/jsp/example-taglib.tld

If not, how do I specify another taglib?

Any comment, suggestion or hint is welcome.

Thank you,

Jörg

It's described in the JSP 1.1 spec, http://java.sun.com/products/jsp

The "uri" attribute is either a URI relative to the application's URI root 
pointing directly to the TLD, or as in this case, a "symbolic" URI that is 
further defined in the web.xml file. In the web.xml file the symbolic URI is 
mapped to the real location. Look at the examples/WEB-INF/web.xml file in the 
Tomcat build directory to see how it works.
