Hello,

After installing the latest (3.8.1, 3rd QF) MyEclipse release, I am having a terrible time trying to use the standard Struts JSP taglibs.

With previous releases, I used to be able to simply reference the taglib with the default uri at the top of my JSP pages like this:

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html"%>

With a fresh MyEclipse J2EE 1.4 project with WebProject and Struts capabilities added, this no longer works. I tried adding a <jsp-config> element to the deployment descriptor with taglib elements, like this:

<jsp-config>
       <taglib>
           <taglib-uri>http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html</taglib-uri>
           <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-location>
       </taglib>
   </jsp-config>

but that still gives me this error when trying to use the struts-html tags:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN in any scope
        org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:867)

I had a similar problem with JSTL which I solved changing the MyEclipse preferences to use the JSTL 1.1 jars instead of 1.0 set that ships with 3.8.1, but I would really like to know how to get this to work out-of-the-box.

I’m using Tomcat 5.0.19 on OS X 10.3.5.

Thanks,

Morten

Morten,
This looks like a classpath issue, what JARs do you have on your classpath in your Java Build Path settings for your Project properties? (make sure none of them have red X’s on them).
