hey guys
i've removed meta-inf directory and web.xml file and referred tld file
directl y.. now it's working properly... but wht's the use of web.xml file
for a web app? i think it is supposed to map the uri attribute specified in
the taglib directive to its respective tld file right? but what's going on
with my code...
as one of friend elicited, i corrected those things and now i'm getting a
different type of error msg saying that
C:\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\gen\test.jsp(0,0) Unable to open
taglibrary FirstTag : C:\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\gen\FirstTag
(The system cannot find the file specified)
that is it's trying to open a tld file by FirstTag in the .../gen
direcotry
as it is hte context path!!! i'm not able to understand the use of the
web.xml file then ? why isn't mapping this uri "FirstTag" to
"/Web-Inf/GenTag.tld" as i specified it in the <taglib-uri> and
<tablib-location> elements of the web.xml file !!!
please bear my nonsense(if it is so!) and clarify my doubt.... there's
something basic bridging point i'm missing i suppose!
thanx in advance
regds

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.
