Hello Everybody: I wrote a small custom tag. It is not working,I do not know where is the problem? Could some one please give me right directions. Thanks in adavance.

My Tag Library Discriptor is at /webapps/ok/jsp/ch14/ bk-taglib.tld as below; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE tablib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystem, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN" "web-jsptaglib_1_1.dtd"> <taglib> <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion> <jspversion>1.1</jspversion> <shortname>bk</shortname> <uri>/ok/jsp/ch14/tags/bk-taglib.tld</uri> <info>First Custom tab</info> <tag> <name>kali</name> <tagclass>bkservletpkg.tags.TagExample</tagclass> <info>First Example</info> <bodycontent>EMPTY</bodycontent> </tag> </taglib> My JSP test driver is also at same location /webapps/ok/jsp/ch14/firstCustomTag.jsp as below; <%@ taglib uri="bk-taglib.tld" prefix="bk" %> <HTML> <BODY> <BR><BR><H1><CENTER><bk:kali></CENTER></H1> <BR><BR><bk:kali/> </BODY> </HTML> I got following errors.

Here is what I used: <!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"> Note that the dtd URI is absolute, not relative. Bill ------------------ author of:

This should solve your problem, but please note that the problem may recur if the server your Tomcat instance is running on cannot reach the URL http://java.sun.com//... due to firewall setup, etc. An alternative is to instead use something like: <!DOCTYPE taglib SYSTEM "file://my/path/to/local/copy/of/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"> (I hope you get the idea that this is an absolute file path).
