unusual glitch (XML file location)

Thanks Mehdi, That did the trick. I have now parsed the XML (finally), one last thing, to anyone... If a path to the XML file is provided or not, it is defaulting to c:\WINNT\system32 hence if I place the XML file thus: c:\WINNT\system32\stocks.xml , with the JSP calling it: Document doc

package declaration / import - new improved!

Hi, Similar to a recent posting, after some research into the subject, regarding importing a package into my JSP, I understand thus: If I have Abean.java and of course Abean.class belonging to package mybean (source below), in webapps/mydir/WEB-INF/mybean/mybean.class, and my JSP in we

Re: JSP + custom tags (XML)

If the emails direct me to where the material is, rather than telling me to go look for it, I'll be happy. My last few emails would suggest I am looking around for stuff. "You could find or make an xml parsing taglib." I am trying to find one! Again, any 'direction' from the list, rather than

OK, here's my JSP: <%@ taglib uri="myfile.xml" prefix="tl" %> XML As you can see, I am not even attempting to parse it yet. Both the JSP and myfile.xml residfe in the same directory - webapps/mydir/... Paul. uri tells the tag where the xml file is. What tag are you using to par

JSP + custom tags (XML)

Hi, In my quest to be able to parse a 10 line XML file in a JSP (notice the sarcasm there?) and extract an element value, I have come accross a few PDFs that talk of custom tags - and for the purposes of XML, a taglib directive. In several examples I saw <%@ taglib uri="..." prefix="tl"

Re: local WEB-INF/web.xml

Regarding timout and web.xml..my web.xml looks like this: Welcome to Tomcat Welcome to Tomcat In other words has not been adjusted a great deal. I could sit here for hours and guess what the tag name is/are, and whether the arguement must takes milliseconds, seconds, minutes etc.

Relating to the previous posting. Now I have my hastable stored as a session, and am able to retrieve it, I would like the session to be created when the service (TC) starts up, or is restarted. I.e I would like the session to be available without initailsing it by loading a JSP page. Thanks
