I was flicking through a JSP book looking for inspiration to an
unrelated problem when the function of <c:import> jumped out of the page
which had the potential to fix an earlier problem I had.
So I looked around and downloaded the 1.1.2 JSTL from the Jakarta site.
I have copied the jstl.jar and standard.jar to my library directory and
the c.tld to my WEB-INF directory. I then set the web.xml as per the
quickstart introduction
(http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/binarydist.html) which unfortunately
When I went to the web.xml to enable the taglib I enter:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/c</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/c.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
because all my other taglibs for Struts are the same - for example:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-tiles</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
However I don't have a tags folder anywhere within my project (the
workings of the web.xml mystify me and everytime I look something up
regarding it I come away feeling very tired and none the wiser:).
Also NetBeans (my IDE) dislikes using the taglib uri's of:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/c.tld"; prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/c.tld"; prefix="c" %>
which by the way are both recommended once in the quickstart and on the
wiki pages.
So I created the following line which NetBeans likes:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %>
But the crux of the matter is that the page does not render when I try
to use JSTL. What URI should I use, what tld's should I copy to the
WEB-INF folder (I am only wanting to use one function from c) and what
should I put in my web.xml?
Thanks, Graham Reeds.
