I’ve created a new J2EE – Web Module Project.

I let the wizard create the Source / Web Root folders and then I exploded a war file into the web root directory that it created.

My exploded war looks like this
|- WEB-INF
|– tld files
|– lib dir
|- Jsp files

So that the Jsp files are at the same level as the WEB-INF file
Well, MyEclipse tries to compile all of my JSPs and unfortunately it cannot find my tld files under the WEB-INF directory… while this is understandable because my jsp taglib entries look like this:

<%@ taglib uri=”struts-bean.tld” prefix=”bean” %>

Weblogic seems to handle this just fine… apparently it set to look for them in the WEB-INF directory…

Is there any way I can make eclipse look for my tld files beyond the web root?

whoops, my post got munged a bit… to clarify…

JSP files are at the web root level,
tld files are inside the WEB-INF directory… the diagram above lost its whitespace representation

Did you modify web.xml to add the appropriate <taglib> elements to map the URI to the taglib location? You really shouldn’t be relying on default behavior for this as it’s inherently unportable.

Yep that was it apparently someone before me didn’t map all of the taglibs

Thanks!!!
