figured it out; for the record, i'll answer my own question: simply removing the taglib lines from web.xml entirely and referencing them directly from jsp's solved the problem.

Hi All, I'm migrating an application from WebLogic 6.1 to Tomcat 5.0, and having a problem getting Tomcat to process taglibs correctly. The *.tld files are in WEB-INF, and web.xml is set up the same as in struts-examples, and the same as we've been using successfully in WebLogic: <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-bean</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> When I reference a taglib in the standard way: <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %> The page fails, and this exception shows up in the logs: 2005-02-03 12:01:38 ApplicationDispatcher[/mcg_cms] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to initialize TldLocationsCache: null at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TldLocationsCache.init(TldLocationsCache.java:249 ) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TldLocationsCache.getLocation(TldLocationsCache.j ava:220) at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.getTldLocation(JspCompilationContext .java:475) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:417) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:483) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1539)... (etc.) It feels like I'm overlooking something small and stupid, but I've been banging my head against this for two days, and it's giving me a headache. Any help gratefully appreciated.
