Please help me about JSP rollDice (HFSJ)

[Anna Wang]

Hello everyone,

I try to deply the application with static functions. In HFSJ P389, there is an example about rollDice. I did all the things the book told me(copy the tld file, jsp file from the book).
Say, I named my application as " myApp " then I put
myFunction.tld file in myApp/WEB-INF/,
DiceRoller.class in myApp/WEB-INF/classes/foo/
tld.jsp file in myApp/

(I did not write web.xml and I feel very strange that if I put web.xml in the myApp/WEB-INF/ then when I try http://localhost:8080/myApp/tld.jsp, I got an error "/myApp/tld.jsp" is not available" )

If I don't have web.xml, and I called the jsp file using http://localhost:8080/myApp/tld.jsp
then it always return me an exception:

****************************************
type Exception report

message

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to initialize TldLocationsCache: XML parsing error on file /WEB-INF/myFunctions.tld: (line 14, col 3)

Can anybody explain something to me. And how to let that example work.Please help me, I am so frustrated with that example and can't read more.

Thank you very much.

Anna

Looks like your tld file has an error. Double-check that it was typed correctly.
