Hi,
I tried these options,
1. Put .jar file in /WEB-INF/lib and tld file in /WEB-INF/tlds directory and tried to
with tag lib as
<%@ taglib uri=\"/WEB-INF/lib/upload.jar\" prefix=\"up\" %>
and
<%@ taglib uri=\"/WEB-INF/tlds/taglib.tld\" prefix=\"up\" %>
in both the cases, it didnot worked.
2. I changed web.xml file to add location and uri as,
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/taglib
</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>
/WEB-INF/tlds/taglib.tld
</taglib-location>
</taglib>
and used tag lib as,
<%@ taglib uri=\"/taglib\" prefix=\"up\" %>
Here I tried both .tld as well as .jar in location tag. In both the cases it gave the
following error..
2002-02-25 11:58:58 - Ctx( /skillset ): JasperException: R( /skillset +
/jsp/checkinResume.jsp + nul
l) E:\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\\webapps\\skillset\\jsp\\checkinResume.jsp(1,0) Unable to
open taglibrary /ta
glib : E:\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\\webapps\\skillset\\WEB-INF\\web.xml (The system
cannot find the file spe
cified)
So, I tried to put the web.xml file in /skillset/WEB-INF directory, in that case,
tomcat didnot started at all. I am not understanding where I am making mistake? Any
more inputs ??
Thanks in advance
