I have a relatively basic question, and I expect someone who has been using taglibs with eclipse to be able to answer it. I have very recently started using eclipse, JSP and taglibs so please excuse me if you find this question trivial. I have looked in the archives and couldn't find the answer, I suppose this is too basic for most people to ask, but since I can't solve it for a few hours... here is the problem:
I am using eclipse 2.1, with tomcat 5.0.12beta and the Lomboz plugin on a windows machine. Java version is java version "1.4.2_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode) I created a Lomboz J2EE project, and then a web module inside the project. Simple JSP pages created in the module are deployed fine (when I say simple I mean without taglibs). Also, the JSP 2.0 Expresion Language works fine (I had to change the web.xml definition for that, since the one that is automatically created by lomboz refers to the older style 2.3 but we want 2.4 for the EL to work), so my web.xml starts like that: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd"> Now I have tried to add a taglib statement in the first line of the jsp page and the eclipse editor flags it as an error. The statement is: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %> as the taglibs readme states: USING THE STANDARD TAG LIBRARY To use this distribution with your own web applications, simply copy the JAR files in the 'lib' directory (jstl.jar and standard.jar) to your application's WEB-INF/lib directory (add the other dependencies as well if your runtime does not already provide them). Then, import JSTL into your pages with the following directives: CORE LIBRARY <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %> I have followed the readme instructions that come with taglibs (the precise taglibs file I downloaded is jakarta-taglibs-20031006.zip). I copied the 2 libraries from the jakarta-taglibs-20031006\jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.0-B1\lib folder, jstl.jar and standard.jar to the WEB-INF\lib folder of my project, but still the error is there. I have tried changing the uri to all variations, removing the "/jsp" part, including the _rt in the end and everything. I have tried adding the required libraries (.jar files) to the eclipse Project Properties / Java Build Path / Libraries, since I think this is probably some internal eclipse configuration issue, and by doing it through the IDE it would generate the required dependencied internally, but the error is still there. Can anyone who uses taglibs with eclipse tell me how do you configure the libraries? I cannot use the taglibs at all if I don't solve this, I have spend several hours looking on the net, on the eclipse site, and the taglibs archive but I cannot find this anywhere, everybody refers to more complex problems. Can someone please help? Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
