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>
Rename your META-INF/mytag.tld to be META-INF/taglib.tld
When the tld is contained in the jar it is expected to be META-INF/taglib.tld I believe.
