Tag files inside a JAR.

[Yeray Santana Borges]

Hi,

If i have a tag file, header.tag that is in a JAR library I need this structure in my JAR library:

mylibrary.jar
|
META-INF
| ------------ tags/header.tag
|
|------------- mytld.tld

this is my mytld.tld

    
<taglib>
	<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
	<short-name>aname</short-name>
	<uri>http://myexampleuri</uri>
	<tag-file>
		<name>header</name>
		<path>/META-INF/tags/header.tag</path>
	</tag-file>
</taglib>

For use the header tag in another Web app, i need to put mylibrary.jar under /META-INF/lib directory and in my JSPs of my web app I can use the header.tag with this directive:

    
<%@ taglib uri="http://myexampleuri" prefix="mytags" %>
<mytags:header>

If my tag not is in a .jar library file. I need to put my header.tag file inside a directory/subdirectory WEB-INF/tags and I use the tag inside a JSP with this directive:

  
<%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/header.tag" prefix="mytags" %>
<mytags:header>

It is correct??

Thanks.

absolutely correct :-)

[Christophe Verré]

tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/header.tag"

I think it should be tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" instead.

True, I overlooked that part. You define all tags inside a directory by pointing at the directory itself. So all tag files will be accessible.
