OK, here's my JSP:
<%@ taglib uri="myfile.xml" prefix="tl" %>
<html><head></head>
<body>
<table border="0" width="50%">
<tr>
<td>XML</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, I am not even attempting to parse it yet. Both the JSP and
myfile.xml residfe in the same directory - webapps/mydir/...
Paul.
uri tells the tag where the xml file is.
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.
