Hello all, I'm sending a note mainly for inclusion in the archive. I'm sure almost everyone here knows this. I think it would have saved me some time.
We recently upgraded from Tomcat 4.1 to Tomcat 5.5. I was excited to try creating SimpleTagSupport handlers that easily worked with JSTL style expression language (el), but it didn't work. Searching Google I got many pages like this one: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/JSP20/ that imply that it should just work right out of the box. I almost gave up (for now) when I came across this very helpful note from Tim Funk (Tim, can you hear the ovation from Richmond, IN, USA?): http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200306.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is what the top of my web.xml file looks like now. I can't promise that it is "correct" but it works. <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.3.dtd" > <web-app 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 web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> Searched Google for (in many combinations): tomcat 5 tag library expression language tld custom handler el rtexprvalue tomcat 5 configuration expression language debian el Thanks, Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Eastman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone 765.965.7363 Doxpop - Public Records at your fingertips http://www.doxpop.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
