flame-bating :).
If he want to parse a xml using a taglib he can use xtags at the jakarta taglib projects.
According to the JSP spec (same in 1.1/1.2/2.0), your
taglib definition must be relative to "web.xml" (e.g. see section 7.3.2 of
the 1.2 JSP spec). In particular, this means that it must be in the file
".../WEB-INF/myfile.xml". To get what you want, you need to specify
uri="/myfile.xml". However this is very bad-practice, since it means that
anyone can download your tld file if they know the name. It is much better
to keep your pages as they are, and move the tld file to WEB-INF.

OK, here's my JSP:<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<%@ 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.

Hi,XML,
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
a taglib directive. In several examples I saw <%@ taglib uri="..."Supplying
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.
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.
