I have a question regarding the automatic addition of <taglib> entries to the Web.XML file when adding Struts capabilities through MyEclipse.

1. Create Web Project
2. Add Struts Capabilities
a. Yes to Install Struts Jars
b. Yes to Install Struts TLDs

MyEclipse adds the <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> tags to the Web.XML file appropriately; however, it does not add any of the required <taglib> entries to reference the TLDs that it has installed.

Is this a bug or is this functionality not available for a reason? My team is currently using version 2.6.200, through Eclipse 2.1.2. Is upgrading to the 2.8 Beta required for this?

Thank you.

however, it does not add any of the required <taglib> entries to reference the TLDs that it has installed.

Actually they aren’t required because the struts.jar file contains the taglibs in its META-INF directory, which (According to spec) is another valid way to resolve taglibs.

Ok. Thank you very much.

No problem, I hope it helped.

I never thought to try without the tags. Just every “tutorial” out there uses it so I was curious why MyEclipse didn’t add it.

Very cool. Quick reply which is nice.

Thx again.
