What tag are you using to parse your jsp? I can't seem to find any info on what tag you are using.
If you are using a taglib, make sure you read the doc for that taglib. It *might* help.

Hi,
In my quest to be able to parse a 10 line XML file in a JSP (notice the sarcasm there?) and extract an element value, I have come accross a few PDFs that talk of custom tags - and for the purposes of XML, a taglib directive. In several examples I saw <%@ taglib uri="..." prefix="tl" %> and syntax such as <tl:parse id=...". Can anyone shed some light on this please? What is 'uri'? Presuming it was a path to my XML file I plugged in - <%@ taglib uri="myfile.xml" prefix="tl" %>, hoping I could parse it and extract elements using <tl:parse id=.... etc. Supplying the XML file below, I was given the error in the browser:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: XML parsing error on file /myfile.xml: (line 3, col -1): Element type "books" is not declared.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <books>
<book isbn="123">
<title>1</title>
<quantity>10</quantity>
<price>$17.95</price>
</book>
</books>
What have I stumbled upon? Am i way off thinking I can use this syntax to parse my XML file? What is the significance of the error displayed?
Thanks very much
paul.
