Declare more than one tag-file inside one .tld file

[Mahmoud Abdulmoniem]

Hi everyone,

i have my tag files and .tld files packed in a single jar file

Here is the .tld file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd" version="2.0"> <tlib-version>1.2</tlib-version> <uri>AppForm</uri> <tag-file> <name>select</name> <path>/META-INF/tags/selectElement.tag</path> </tag-file> <tag-file> <name>headerFile</name> <path>/META-INF/tags/header.tag</path> </tag-file> </taglib>

and here are the 2 tag files :

header.tag

<%-- define BODY using body-content attribute in tag directive--%> <%@ tag body-content="tagdependent"%> <%-- define COLOR tag attribute --%> <%@ attribute name="fontColor" required="true" rtexprvalue="true" %> <!-- start header --> <div id="header"> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li class="current_page_item"><a href="#">Homepage</a></li> <li><a href="#">Blogs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Photos</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- end header --> <b><font color="${fontColor}"> <jsp:doBody /> </font></b>

selectElement.tag

<%-- define BODY using body-content attribute in tag directive--%> <%@ tag body-content="empty" dynamic-attributes="attrMap"%> <%-- define name tag attribute --%> <%@ attribute name="name" required="true" %> <%-- define size tag attribute --%> <%@ attribute name="size" required="true" %> <%-- define optionList tag attribute --%> <%@ attribute name="optionList" required="true" rtexprvalue="true" type="java.util.List"%> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%> <select name="${name}" size="${size}" <c:forEach var="attribute" items="${attrMap}"> ${attribute.key}="${attribute.value}" </c:forEach> > <c:forEach var="optionItem" items="${optionList}"> <option value="${optionItem}">${optionItem}</option><br> </c:forEach> </select>

Now, the problem is as the following :

whenever i'm trying to invoke the header tag from a JSP like this :
<app:headerFile fontColor="red"> BODY </app:headerFile>

it gives the following error :

Multiple annotations found at this line:
- Missing required attribute
"name"
- Missing required attribute "size"
- Missing required attribute
"optionList"
- Tag (app:headerFile) must be
empty


it asks for attributes defined for the other tag file.

i tried to create 2 different .tld files and declare one tag-file per each, but i got the same problem.

appreciate your help regarding this problem
