Looking at the documentation for the web.xml, it reads: taglib-uri: The taglib-uri element describes a URI, relative to the location of the web.xml document, identifying a Tag Library used in the Web Application. taglib-location: the taglib-location element contains the location (as a resource relative to the root of the web application) where to find the Tag Libary Description file for the tag library.
So, for example, if your web.xml has <taglib> <taglib-uri>http://www.acme.com/logic</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> you can place the taglib directive <%@ taglib uri="http://www.acme.com/logic"; prefix="logic" %> in your JSP. The web.xml <taglib> provides a level of indirection thereby allowing you to say, move your tlds or use a newer version without having to update all your JSPs. I *do* have every taglib that I use in my application declared in the web.xml.

In the web.xml there is an optional taglib element. I don't understand very well the aim of this element. In the beginning of the development I added the following libraries: <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib- location>/WEB-INF/tld/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> and in the JSP that use these libraries I added in the header: <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-bean.tld" prefix="logic" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld" prefix="logic" %> In the continuation of my developments I used new libraries which I did not declare in web.xml But in the JSP that use these new libraries I wrote a line <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %> and it works, why ? Is it with the fact that the two directives are identical? I do'nt understand well which is the aim of the taglib element ? Do I must declare each library used in the Struts application in the web.xml file ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of February 12th, 2003 Thomson unifies its email addresses on a worldwide basis.
