G'day all, I put a copy of the struts-tags.tld in WEB-INF and added the appropriate <taglib>...</taglib> reference in web.xml and this seems to have solved my immediate problem. However to be honest I'm not satisfied with this approach and was wondering if there is something else which could be done so that it is unnecessary to place a copy of the .tld (from the struts distro) in the WEB-INF directory for each of the application modules within the EAR package?
At present the structure of my "test" EAR is: + lib/ + META-INF/ + Tinker-app-1.war + Tinker-app-2.war The common libraries in the top level lib directory are exposed to the application modules with a <library path="lib"/> reference in the orion-application.xml file located under META-INF. I'm now wondering if rejigging the taglib definition so that it uses an absolute URI would resolve the issue? Cheers.
