Hi MyEclipse

I know this issue has been discussed in other support issues, but I do
not get the point ….

I have made project based on an older project I’m working with

Here we uses taglibs

like
<%@taglib uri=”/package/cmd/deployment.tld” prefix=”deployment”%>

1) A directory package is on level with the WEB-INF directory
2) under here in cmd/ is a file called deployment.tld

But MyEclipse complains (in a red-cross mark)
Could not load TLD for uri=/package/cmd/deployment.tld

I have tried nearly anything
1) putting taglib entries into web.xml

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/package/cmd/deployment.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/package/cmd/deployment.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>deployment.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/deployment.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/deployment.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/deployment.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

2) Changed the taglib directive to
<%@taglib uri=”/deployment.tld” prefix=”deployment”%>
or
<%@taglib uri=”deployment.tld” prefix=”deployment”%>

3) put the file delployment.tld all over…

BUT NOTHING HELPS …….

Question:
X) do tld files need to be declared in web.xml ?

Y) doesn’t uri=”/package/cmd/deployment.tld” mean that there must be
a file in a directory package/… where package and WEB-INF are on the same level. ?

Finally:
MyEclipse was hopefully designed to help developers, so instead of just saying that it cannot find a file, it could be very nice to have myEclipse to
have a file-dialoque where the developer can pick among files.. (standard feature in weblogics workshop)

It is my understanding that TLDs are only required to reside under the web-root, not the suggested <web-root>/WEB-INF folder. I replicated similar behavior and have submitted a problem report for further research and resolution.

Out of curiousity, why do you make your TLDs publicly accessible?

X) do tld files need to be declared in web.xml ?

The TLD either needs to be referenced in the web.xml file, or in a JAR files WEB-INF dir (like Struts).

Y) doesn’t uri=”/package/cmd/deployment.tld” mean that there must be
a file in a directory package/… where package and WEB-INF are on the same level. ?

Yes I believe you are correct. Why don’t you try this:

<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>/tags/deployment</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/package/cmd/deployment.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

Then use “/tags/deployment” in your JSP page? In the mean time I’ll send your situation on to the devs to see why it didn’t work (it seems it should have)

Hi,
I have also set up a project based on an already working project. My jsp pages cannot resolve the taglib references although they work in production. An example:

jsp page
<%@ taglib uri=”webflow.tld” prefix=”webflow” %>

web.xml
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>webflow.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/webflow_taglib.jar</taglib-location>
</taglib>

The jar file exists in the designated location and has a .tld in the META-INF directory.

This happens for many tags in many jsps. I have restarted many times; nothing helps. And, by the way, some external code imports are not recognized in jsps either, while some code from the same libraries are recognized!

I am using Eclipse 3.0 and myEclipse 3.8 beta2 on Windows 2000 SP4. I am running Eclipse with jdk 1.4.2.

tgordon,
Your taglib mappings are invalid, go ahead and remove them (can’t reference a JAR AFAIK) and then open the TLD file in your META-INF folder, and look at the predefined URIs, then just use that in your JSP pages.

If the TLD files do not define a URI, then copy the TLD out of the JAR into your WEB-INF folder, and re-add valid taglib entries (pointing to the TLD file), that should do the trick.
