Couple of things:
a) There is no tag defined by the name of gen, there is one with the name of
FirstTag check your .tld file.
In your jsp change the call from gen to FirstTag.
b) Just double check to see that the header ( the first couple of lines) of
your .tld file are correct.
After doing the above the code is working fine on an windows 98 machine
running tomcat 4.0 / jdk 1.3.
Have a nice day.
With regards,
Sachin S. Khanna
