hi, i am new to taglibs. i am a bit confused as what configs i have to do to make my taglib work. i've written the tag support class and put it under "Web-inf/classes...". i've put the jsp page under "webapps". and the taglib descriptor (taglib.tld) in the "Meta-inf" folder. i am not sure what should be the taglib uri, if my context path is "/test..". for eg:- the jsp page is accessed as, http://localhost:800/test/TestTaglibs.jsp
and i've given the taglib uri as <%@ taglib uri="http://localhost:800/test/taglib.tld" prefix="test" %>

.... jsp page under "webapps". and the taglib descriptor (taglib.tld) in the "Meta-inf" folder. i am not sure what should be the taglib uri, if my context path is "/test..". if your context is "/test" why is your jsp in the "webapps" folder? could you give us some more of your background with tomcat. regds. - satya

hi, i am sorry. my context path is indeed "/test" and my jsp page resides in this folder only. sure, i have been working quite some time with tomcat. raghav.

I don't know if it's correct to place taglib.tld in /test/Meta-inf and its uri "http://localhost:800/test/taglib.tld". Try put taglib.tld out of test/Meta-inf and directly under /test. I know it should work if you specify a uri for the taglib.tld in the web.xml, and then use that uri in taglib directive.

Assuming your taglib.tld file can be in the WEB-INF folder, in your JSP you will do this:
I haven't tested this (I had my tld's in a jar file), but I am fairly confident about this. Please let us know if it works (I will try to validate it and re-post if I am wrong). HTH. regds. - satya

hi satya, no. it didnt work. am i supposed to configure my web.xml ? i am intrigued by tomcat's error:
how does it check the Meta-inf folder automatically when i have not set it anywhere? raghav.

Raghav: Sorry. I will stop second guessing, will do an example and let you know at the earliest, if no one else has any input... regds. - satya
