Hi,
i have a problem tryng to use an External Tag Lib (eXtremeComponents, a sort of display Tag-lib http://extremecomponents.org/).

The problem is that the jar needed must be in META-INF/lib directory.

I go to:
Project Properties –> java build path –> add Library Package Explorer
where library contains my jar, then i sow it in myeclipse but when i deploy the application there is no trace of the jar in the META-INF/lib deployed on Tomcat.

I tried also
Project Properties –> java build path –> add External jars
but no way the same problem.

Just now i solved the problem adding directly to my
Eclipse META-INF/lib dir the jar that i needed!

It is the right way?

One more question about tag-libs. Specifications say that i must put in web.xml the tag-lib info as :
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tld/extremecomponents</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/extremecomponents.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

but if i put this in my web.xml it the debugger give me an error , why?

tnks 🙂

I post my web.xml for help in debug (using struts and myeclipse 4m2):

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<web-app xmlns=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee&#8221; xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&#8221; version=”2.4″ xsi:schemaLocation=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd”&gt;

<taglib> <— ERROR IS HERE

</taglib>
</web-app>

Did you meant your WEB-INF directory? You kept mentioning your META-INF/lib dir, but the JAR needs to be in your WEB-INF/lib dir.

Also the error is because your web.xml file is invalid, you need to wrap your <taglib> entries in <jsp-config> tags, this is new in the web 2.4 spec.

[vanholy]

oh no i was tired the dir is right, is the WEB-INF.

However thank you because my problem was the wrapping with <jsp-config>

bye
