This is strange, I have a jsp that accessess a function declared in a TLD file. The function has NO paramters passed to it. When I try to compile the jsp into a servlet via tomcat jasper, I get:
C:\Tomcat\webapps\Acuity\build.xml:98: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The class specified in the method signature in TLD for the function rules:getAutoRefresh1 cannot be found. OK - but I have done this before a million times and I know it works, so I looked at working examples of my code where I did this and the only difference is that this function takes no parameters. So for an experiment, I changed the TLD, the jsp and the class to have a dummy int parmater passed to the function - not used just passed - AND IT COMPILED!?! WHY DOES IT MATTER IF THERE ARE PARAMTERS OR NOT - AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??? IS IT BECAUSE IT IS A GET METHOD??? here is the test jsp and .tld file THIS DOESNT WORK...
