Unable to find taglib in project--please help

[Russell Ray]

I have a problem. All I am trying to do is add the following basic taglib libraries into my web.xml file. I am using eclipse 3.1 with MyEclipse workbench.

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

The top portion of the web.xml file says:
Code:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<web-app version="2.4" 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 <a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd</a> "> 

These *.tdl are located in the WEB-INF directory, yet I am getting this error when i try to compile the project:

 
 
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'taglib'. One of '{"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" :mrgreen: escription, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" :mrgreen: isplay-name, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":icon, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" :mrgreen: istributable, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":context-param, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":filter, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":filter-mapping, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":listener, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":servlet, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":servlet-mapping, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":session-config, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":mime-mapping, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":welcome-file-list, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":error-page, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":jsp-config, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":security-constraint, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":login-config, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":security-role, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":env-entry, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":ejb-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":ejb-local-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":service-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":resource-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":resource-env-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":message-destination-ref, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":message-destination, "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee":locale-encoding-mapping-list}' is expected.   web.xml   DBDemo/WebRoot/WEB-INF   line 27   February 11, 2006 6:51:11 AM   142 

Any help or suggestions would help!

If your Application server uses the J2EE Servlet 2.4 specificaiton, your <taglib> xml block must be enclosed in <jsp-config></jsp-config>. If it's not, that may be causing your error.

Hi Russel,
I hope there is an error in your web.xml file.. try adding jsp-config section to your document... so ur code should look like..
<jsp-config>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-bean</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-html</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-logic</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
</jsp-config>

Send me ur feed back if it works...
