Hi,all. I got a question. Are tags order sensitive in an XML or TLD file? I know <servlet-name> must appear before <servlet-class> in XML. Is it true for all the tags defined by DTD? I noticed when using some tags in a JSP, for example <%@ taglib uri="aa" prefix="bb">; the order of "uri" and "prefix" is exchangable. Could anyone please help me to understand this issure? Thanks

Whether elements have to be in a particular order depends entirely on the DTD that is associated with your XML file.
As for this:


<%@ taglib uri="aa" prefix="bb">; the order of "uri" and "prefix" is exchangable


The "uri" and "prefix" are attributes, not elements. Attributes can always be in any order.
