How to user Struts Tags in a WebApplication

[Rd Dari]

Hi everyone,

I am using struts tags in my application using NetBeans IDE 6.5, tomcat 5.0 and MySql 5.0 but there is big problem if I using simple HTML tags like:

<input type="text" name="name">

then application is running without any problem. but when I use like:

<html:text property="name"/>

and I also included these with it like:

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

but it is not running every time there are so many errors,warnings and INFO. So please suggest me that what should I do for running application.The errors are shown here:

[Rd Dari]

Hi,

Thanks!

... that this INFO is also a big problem for me

You can change the log configuration of the server to debug or error

From the info log one can observe only concern is the below

INFO: validateJarFile(D:\NetBeans 6.8 Projects\StrutsHelloWorldApplication\build\web\WEB-INF\lib\servlet-api.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class

Anyways, which version of struts are you using?

[Rd Dari]

Hi Shankar,

Thanks for reply.

I already change the log of server but no change in this I am using Struts 1.2.9 version

[Shankar Tanikella]

Also, which web server are you using.. That server info message of jar loading failure is due to server-api.jar whihc is in your web-inf directory. Your web server has its own and want to use it. Remove it and should work fine.

Could you please share your taglib spec in web.xml for the actual problem

I have remove servlet-api.jar from WEB-INF but problem is same.

[Shankar Tanikella]

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-nested.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-nested.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

So... Use the tld in JSP like this..

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic"%>

I have remove servlet-api.jar from WEB-INF but problem is same.

.. you still have it in the log? which server
