http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6438 Problem with JARed taglibs Summary: Problem with JARed taglibs Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.2 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just downloaded the new Tomcat 4.0.2 and I had trouble getting my web application to load successfully. ${TOMCAT}/logs/catalina.out shows the following lines: Apache Tomcat/4.0.2 PARSE error at line 1 column 1 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed. Starting service Tomcat-Apache Apache Tomcat/4.0.2 PARSE error at line 1 column 1 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed. This would seem to indicate that some XML file is bad -- the messages gives no clue to which file has the problem. After trying a few things I found that if I comment the taglib definition lines from my web.xml file the error message goes away. Next, I extracted the TLD file from the JAR that contains my tag library, and modified web.xml to point to the TLD iteslf. That fixed the problem. The JSP specifiecation (JSP.7.3.2) says: "The TLD resource path ... should resolve to a TLD file directly, OR TO A JAR FILE [emphisis mine] that has a TLD file at location META-INF/taglib.tld." It seems that the latter does not work well in Tomcat 4.0.2. I guess the code that looks for the TLD is not correctly handling JARs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
