Yes, like I said, the JAR file must be stored in the WEB-INF/lib directory. This is because it contains all the Java class files for the tag library, and the container looks for JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory for the application. > After this i used the tag as, > <%@ taglib uri=\"/WEB-INF/lib/uptag.jar\" prefix=\"up\" %> Assuming this directive is used in a JSP page located under E:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\webapps\skillset, and that the JAR file contains the TLD in META-INF/taglib.tld, this should work fine. > Is any thing else is to be done? Like putting tld file some where. > Right now it is at one place (WEB-INF/tlds).. Like I said earlier, you can point to the TLD file instead of the JAR. In fact, if the JAR does not contain the TLD, this is what you have to do. If you have the TLD in E:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\webapps\skillset\WEB-INF\tlds\mylib.tld, use <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/mylib.tld" prefix="up" %> Any one of these alternatives should work. And they do. I've done it many times, with many different web containers, and it's how the JSP specification says it should be done. All you have to do is be very careful with the typing the paths correctly, including upper and lowercase letters. > I am really not understanding what is happening here.

You can always search for "file upload servlet" or something similar on Google, but that's not really a solution to this problem. I assume you want to use tag libraries for other things eventually, and then you have to figure out what you're doing wrong with the taglib directive anyway.
