Hi Sudha,

More than likely, one of your jsp's has its taglib set incorrectly. It's probably something like:

<%@ taglib uri='lib/struts-html.tld' prefix='html'%>

.
Newer versions of struts have the tld's in the jar file and can be specified as follows:

<%@ taglib uri='http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html-el'  prefix='html'%>
-or-
<%@ taglib uri='http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el' prefix='html'%>

I'd start by searching all the jsp's for "struts-html.tld" and go from there.

Hope that helps...
Aloha,
Doug

Hi Doug,

I tried the way you told.Now I am gettting the error as follows

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html-el cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

Do we need to change the web.xml file ? I am working on struts 1.3.8 ,Eclipse IDE,Tomcat 6 server

Thanks in advance,
sudha.

Sudha,

There was a typo in Doug's reply.

In Struts 1.3.8, you should be using:

   
<%@ taglib uri='http://struts.apache.org/tags-html' prefix='html'%>

to access the Struts HTML Taglib. The jakarta.apache.org uris are deprecated and removed.

Be sure you're deploying the struts-taglib-1.3.x.jar, which includes the taglib classes and the TLDs.

You do not need to configure the TLDs in the web.xml; they are included in the jar files, and Servlet 2.3+ will be able to find them.

see this configuration guide for more details.

Thanks Stevi,

I should be slapped with a wet red herring .

Aloha,
Doug
