http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6090 Listener not instantiated in tld file Summary: Listener not instantiated in tld file Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a tld file which is in WEB-INF (called messageboard.tld). This has a <listener> element <listener> <listener- class>com.develop.ejsp.listeners.IntializeDatabaseConnection</listener-class> </listener> If I place this in the web.xml file then it is instantiated and works fine. In the tld file however it's not picked up. According to the spec: JSP.7.1.2.2 Event Listeners A tag library may include classes that are event listeners (see the Servlet 2.3 specification). The listeners classes are listed in the tag library descriptor and the JSP container automatically instantiates them and registers them. A container is required to locate all TLD files (see Section JSP.7.3.1 ...) JSP.7.3.1 Identifying Tag Library Descriptors Tag library descriptor files have names that use the extension “.tld”, and the extension indicates a tag library descriptor file. ... When deployed directly into a web application, the tag library descriptor files must always be in the WEB-INF directory, or some subdirectory of it. My deployment seems OK, the tld is parsed OK. Is this a bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
