The directive is a custom tag that Tomcat does not recognize, I think.
tag_test.jsp is a JSP file I mentioned below. It's not in C:, but in
C:/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/Root
I assume that I am not configuring it right and it can't recognize the
custom tags and gives me this error.
Here are the contents of the JSP file:
-----------------
<%@ raglib uri="/test.tld" prefix="leo" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example JSP with TAG Libs</title>
</head>
<p><b> Let's see if this works. </b>
<leo:mytag></leo:mytag>
<p><b> End </b>
-----------------
Thanks a lot in adavance.

Subject: Re: New user question...
The error is in the first line of your JSP file 'tag_test.jsp'.
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: C:\tag_test.jsp(0,4)
Invalid directive at...
The error message says it is a directive, but without the details, it is
hard to tell exactly what is wrong.
If you tell us what's there, we can help you one step further.
