Hi guys,
I am trying to use the jakarta JSTL implementation for a project that
employs tomcat and the new web.xml descriptors. After reading the
documentation, FAQ, searching google ant the mail list I still do not
get is, so I am asking for some help.
Now onto the real config:
I am using tomcat: Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
I have downloaded Standard Taglib version 1.1.2 from here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html
Then I read the documentation provided here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/binarydist.html
And realized that after copying the *tld and *jar files in their
corresponding places - I have no way to describe them in web.xml for its
scheme is here: http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd and
there is no way to add a taglib declaration.
I saw that for example struts tags are repackaged in *jar files that
have a special META-INF directory with a tld subdirectory.
I have read Appendix A of JavaServer Pagesв„ў Standard Tag Library
specification from Sun but still do not get it - after copying *tlds and
*jars - what is the next step to use the tags in XML JSP pages.
(This one came from here:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-taglibs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
Can someone help me - I am stuck.
Kind regards:
