Problem with taglib declaration.

[Vadim Vararu]

I get such error:

    
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean-el cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:51)

	org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:267)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)

though, i have included all struts libraries... and used such taglib declarations:

   
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean-el" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic-el" prefix="logic"%>
 

So, i can't understand what's the problem.

P.S. I use last version of Struts 1

Now, i've made some changes in web.xml and i get this error:

    
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Failed to load or instantiate TagExtraInfo class: org.apache.struts.taglib.html.MessagesTei

Searching the web provides several possible solutions. What server are you running? Some have a bundled version of Struts. What libraries are you deploying? Have you verified the versions of all the deployed libraries (and verified that deployment is happening correctly)?

[Vadim Vararu]

I'm using tomcat 6.x without any bundled version of framework and latest version of Struts1 downloaded from official site.

This is the .jsp that i try to access:

    
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--  
<html:form action="registerForm.do">
		Username:<html:text property="username" />
	<br>
		Password1:<html:password property="password1" />
	<br>
		Password2:<html:password property="password2" />
	<br>
	<html:submit value="Go" />
</html:form>
-->
</body>
</html>

When i call it with struts taglib declaration line, i get error, when i delete that line, it goes ok. So the problem is in the taglib declaration somewhere i guess.

[David Newton]

*Please* list the libraries you're deploying--it's really difficult to help if you don't provide requested information.

Are you deploying a jsp library?

[Amandeep Singh]

latest version of Struts1 downloaded from official site.

if you already have downloaded the Struts 1. then why not to use them-
put all tld in WEB-INF. and all your libraries in your src project lib folder.

refer all tld by specifying the location as /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
instead of specifying the urls. this will also make your project portable.

[David Newton]

App servers haven't needed extracted TLDs for years, and TC6 certainly doesn't.

[Vadim Vararu]

Here is the list of libraries i deploy:
.......................................................
antlr-2.7.2
bsf-2.3.0
commons-beanutils-1.8.0
commons-chain-1.2
commons-digester-1.8
commons-fileupload-1.1.1
commons-io-1.1
commons-logging-1.0.4
commons-validator-1.3.1
jstl-1.0.2
oro-2.0.8
standard-1.0.6
struts-core-1.3.10
struts-el-1.3.10
struts-extras-1.3.10
struts-faces-1.3.10
struts-mailreader-dao-1.3.10
struts-scripting-1.3.10
struts-taglib-1.3.10
struts-tiles-1.3.10
...........................................................

I don't have any .tld-s in web-inf directory. I just write in .jsp-s write uri and container do extract .tld-s by itself. It is correct, isn't it?

[David Newton]

What does your web.xml look like? I can't reproduce this, so right now I'm thinking there's a deployment or configuration issue. I'd also recommend removing any libraries you're *not* using.

[Vadim Vararu]

Uhhh... it was an Eclipse issue. I just didn't deploy libraries correctly.

I did not understand what this really means.

[David Newton]

@Vadim: Happens all the time

@Amandeep: It means that TLDs are discoverable inside library files and do not need to exist on the filesystem as separate, physical files.
