Hello!

I want to use a JSP custom tag library in a project.

I added the JAR including the Taglib into Build Path.
The JAR includes the TLD.

When I deploy the Web-App to Tomcat 4, everything works fine.

Only the JSP-Validator is always showing an error, that its unable to read
JAR resp. TLD.
(Unable to read TLD “META-INF/taglib.tld” from JAR file … WEB-INF/lib/xxx.jar)

It searches for the JAR under WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib/.
At development time that directory is empty.
The myEclipse deploy-process copies the JARs to WEB-INF/lib-folder.

How can I get rid of the annoying error messages?

Thx,

Bjoern

Bjoern,
Double check your build path and make sure you don’t have a ghost JAR in it.

Hi Riyad,

What is a ghost jar?

I have some jars in my build path, but i need all of them.

Is the JSP-Editor able to read a tld only from a jar file?

Tomcat 4 works fine. I use there no entry in web.xml, no extra tld-file, only the jar.

What is a ghost jar?

Sorry, I meant do you have any broken JAR references in your build path to files that don’t exist or were erased?

Is the JSP-Editor able to read a tld only from a jar file?

The editor follows the spec. It can resolve a TLD from any valid location (web.xml, JAR/META-INF dir, etc.)

Did you put the TLD in the JAR in a META-INF directory?
