Unable to load tag handler class - JSP Exception

Hi,

I'm receiving the below exception, while running my sample web application.

Exception

I have my class file defined as below:

package com.custom.tags;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.*;
public class DateFormat extends TagSupport{
private Date date;
private String scope;
private String format;
public DateFormat(){

}
public Date getDate(){
return date;
}
public void setDate(Date date){
this.date=date;
}
public String getScope(){
return scope;
}
public void setScope(String scope){
this.scope=scope;
}
public String getFormat(){
return format;
}
public void setFormat(String format){
this.format=format;
}
public int doStartTag() throws JspException{
String frmt;
Date d=getDate();
if(getFormat()==null)
frmt="MM/dd/yyyy";
else
frmt=getFormat();
SimpleDateFormat sf=new SimpleDateFormat(frmt);
try{
pageContext.getOut().print(sf.format(d));
}
catch(IOException e){
throw new JspException("Excepion in Custom Date implementation:"+e.getMessage());
}
return TagSupport.SKIP_BODY;
}
public int doEndTag(){
return EVAL_PAGE;
}
}

and I have my TLD defined as

and added an element in Web.xml as below
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>CustomDate</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/CustomDate.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
I know this may not be needed, but just followed the steps based on an existing web.xml

Now I copied this tld under /WEB-INF/tld folder with the name CustomDate.tld

and my index.jsp is coded as

One thing which I wanted to mention here is my eclipse IDE shows an error at new Date(), saying that quotes are missing. But I have the quotes in place.

So with this, I believe all the steps are completed. But still I'm receiving this exception. What was that I missed here ?

Where is the "gmaci" coming from?

Hi Bear,

While posting my question, I edited the package. In actual code com.gmaci.custom.tags is the package. I removed my company name and posted.

Thanks
