Do I have do insert jars in the lib directory or MyEclipse can do it autmaticly

1) Make sure you are using a Web Project
2) Right click on your project, go down to MyEclipse > Add JSTL
3) Select the version of JSTL you want to add, probably 1.1
4) Be sure to add the proper <%@ taglib %> entry to the top of your JSP page
5) Have fun!

The key here are steps #3 and #4, once you have done that, MyEclipse will properly resolve the tags and give you autocomplete for them.

Completion works fine thinks !

but I ve an error when executing my jsp on tomcat saying that the test attribut doesn’t accept expression

[pidj]

Some tags don’t accept expressions. It’s defined in the taglib.

Not currently, but unless you are using custom URIs in your web.xml file, you don’t even need the TLDs in your WEB-INF dir, you can just erase them (as long as you are not remapping them in your web.xml file)

The reason for this is that they are all contained in the standard.jar/META-INF directory, which is a valid place according to the web specification for them to be and MyEclipse will honor that.

the tag i am using do accept an expression it is the c:if tag. I use it like this

<c:if test="${not empty patientBean.name}">

But if I add this in my web.xml file everythings work

     <taglib>
        <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location>
    </taglib>

But by putting this MyEclipse mark an error in the web.xml file

invalid content was found starting with element taglib

thinks you very much

Code:

invalid content was found starting with element taglib

The format of the web.xml file changed with the web 2.4 spec, you need to wrap your <taglib> entries in <jsp-config> tags, like this:
<jsp-config>
<taglib>blahlbha</taglib>
</jsp-config>

ok thinks, you, it works

So I need to modify my web.xml manually each time I want to use a new taglib

Only if you want to use non-default URIs.

To see what the default URI is, open your TLD file and look around the 5th line or so, you will see:
<uri>SOME TEXT</uri>

Where SOME TEXT represents the default URI used by the taglib. If you use this string, you don’t need a custom mapping in your web.xml file.
