Hi, I'm trying to use the Jakarta taglibs (1.1.2) with Tomcat 5.5.23, and am failing miserably! I've looked at newsgroups, the Jakarta taglibs tutorial, and archives of this mailing list, but still haven't got it working and I don't think that I've done anything differently to what other people have done who have reported it works for them. I'm sure it's something really silly, but I've spend some hours on it now, and am getting frustrated - could someone point out the problem to me please? I downloaded and unzipped Tomcat 5.5.23. All seems fine - am using basic JSPs and servlets ok. I downloaded jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.2.zip (from a couple of mirrors, hoping that I'd got a duff one somehow). I unzipped this, and copied the 2 jar files into the WEB-INF\lib directory of my application. That's all I've done. I understand that with 1.1 I don't need to do anything with the web.xml file. From looking at other notestreams about this, I understand I don't need to do anything with the tld files as they are now included in the jar files, tho I can't see any sign of them. My web.xml header line is as follows: <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="HYPERLINK "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="HYPERLINK "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema- instance" xsi:schemaLocation="HYPERLINK "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee HYPERLINK "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/ j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
which looks good to me. Tomcat gives me the following error: HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: HYPERLINK "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler. java:51) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:409 ) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:116 ) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.generateTLDLocation(TagLibrary InfoImpl.java:317) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.<init>(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java :148) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:424) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:493) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1557) etc I have a file called "response.tag" which if I put the taglib tag in it (1st line). gives me the above error - works fine without it. response.tag: <%@ taglib uri="HYPERLINK "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %> <%@ attribute name="username" required="false" %> <table cols="1" border="1"> <tr> <td> <strong> ${username} </strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nav 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nav 2</td> </tr> </table> Any pointers would be very gratefully received.
