hey,
    finaly got taglibs to work.  It was the ordering of the nodes in the web.xml file.  I feel realy stupid now.  Thanks for your help.

Might be something to do with the fact that the web.xml dtd requires a certain ordering.  I've run into this before and it was extremely difficult to figure out exactly what happened.  After I discovered the problem I then could not fathom Sun wrote the dtd to require a particullaar order.
 
Either way, try putting the taglib lines before your security constraint.

Subject: Can't get taglibs to work in orion

I downloaded the custom tags provided on orion's site and installed them on my orion 1.5.2 server.  But when I try to go to the jsp page that uses them I get a 'page cannot be displayed error'.  I can run jsp's that do not utilize orion's taglibs so I think it might have something to do with my deployment descriptors.  In my web.xml file in web-inf directory i have the following tags:
 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">

<web-app>

<display-name>Holder Project</display-name>

<login-config>

<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>

</login-config>

<taglib>

<taglib-uri>utiltags</taglib-uri>

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/utiltags.jar</taglib-location>

</taglib>

</web-app>

and I put <%@ taglib uri="utiltags" prefix="util" %> at the top of my jsp. With all subsequent code referenced like this <util:sometag>

if someone could please explain what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it.
