I'm coming up to speed on struts 1.3.5, and I will be asking some possibly silly questions soon.

I have been reading the "Jakarta Struts" book by Cavaness (2nd ed) which covers struts 1.1. I get the impression that there were several significant changes from 1.0 to 1.1; I'm not sure how big the changes are from 1.1 to 1.3.

In any event, the author gives one method for including taglibs in jsp. For example, for tiles you would use:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tilles" %>

But the current tiles docs say to use:
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %>

My questions are:

  1. Is the only way to determine the correct uri value to look it up
     in the docs?  (Is there any other way to know that the correct
     value is "http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"; ?)
  2. How does that really work ?  I know that nothing ever actually
     connects to http://struts.apache.org, so how does that value get
     mapped to the correct jar file under WEB-INF?  Are all the jar
     files checked until one with a matching tag is found?
