I’m getting two errors on my tld file when I run validation. They are as follows:

cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'taglib'.    taxesCommon.tld    taxesCommonTagFiles2005/META-INF    line 6    November 4, 2005 8:45:30 AM

SchemaLocation: schemaLocation value = 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd' must have even number of URI's.    taxesCommon.tld    taxesCommonTagFiles2005/META-INF    line 6    November 4, 2005 8:45:30 AM

Here is my tld file.

</taglib>

I just want to know if this is because the tag file stuff is not supported in the validator or have I done something wrong in my file.

The tag file works when I deploy it.

thanks,
Rick.

Rick,

The issue is with the schemaLocation. Try the following instead:

<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd" 
  version="2.0">

It’s more explicit and will remove the validation error.
