Hi!
I m using the Scwcd exam study kit by Hanumant Deshmukh for he 310-080 exam (the older version). It states that:
When deployed in a jar file,a TLD file must be placed either directly under or inside a sub-directory of the META-INF directory. In addition,the name of the TLD file must be taglib.tld.
But, while giving a mock exam I encountered this question:
Which of the following statements are correct regarding tag libraries?
Options
Select 1 correct option.
A.The tag library descriptor for a tag library must be kept in META-INF directory by the name taglib.tld if the tag library is packaged in a jar file.
B.The tag library descriptor for a tag library may be kept in WEB-INF/taglib.tld, if the tag library is packaged in a jar file.
C.A JSP 2.0 compliant container is guaranteed to generate impliciting mapping for JSTL tag libraries.
D.A JSP 2.0 compliant container will automatically genarate an implicit tag library for a set of tag files.
E.The tag library descriptor for a tag library not packaged as a jar file may be kept anywhere in /tld directory of the web application's document root.
Correct answer: D
But according to what I quoted from the book, option A should also be correct. I referred to the
JSP specification 2.0 but it does not mention any restriction about the name of the TLD. Has this restriction been removed in the new version?
