Hi, I downloaded the source and I made the changes to the StringTagSupport.java as you speficified. Now when I try to use the taglib my Resin gives me this error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.apache.taglibs.string.SubstringTag.doStartTag() So I looked at the StringTagSupport.java again and noticed there is no doStartTag() method ... seems strange. I don't know much about coding taglibs so I am lost as to why this error is showing up when all I did was comment out the line initAttributes() from doEndTag(). Any ideas?
