Joe,
Dumb question for you: Is the taglib line in your displaytag using jsp
really
<%@ taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net/"; prefix="display" %>
Shouldn't it be something with a tld on it or be a local reference to a TLD
defined in your webapp's web.xml file?
For an old site using 1.0-rc1, I have a web.xml taglib entry:
<taglib-uri>/tags/display</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/displaytag.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
And JSP usage:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/display" prefix="display" %>
Regards,
David

Subject: [OT] Display Tag Library problems with Weblogic 6.1
I'm trying for the first time to deploy the "displaytag" library to a
Weblogic 6 server, and I'm getting an annoying error which I was not
getting while developing locally under Tomcat 4. Since I know a lot
of Struts users use displaytag, and since I'm not subscribed to that
list, I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas.
When using the "displaytag-1.0-rc1.jar" retrieved from the iBiblio
Maven repository, I get this error:
/Results.jsp(3): Error in using tag library
uri='http://displaytag.sf.net/' prefix='display': For tag 'table',
cannot load extra info class 'org.displaytag.tags.TableTagExtraInfo'
probably occurred due to an error in /Results.jsp line 3:
<%@ taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net/"; prefix="display" %>
Changing the JSP so that it attempts to simply access the static
'class' member of the TableTagExtraInfo class gets me an error "class
file has wrong version 48.0, should be 47.0". So... I decided to
just try rebuilding the JAR from SourceForge CVS. When I put that
version of the JAR in place, the above error disappears, but now I
get:
weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException: (line 43): for tag 'table',
property 'name' of tag handler class 'org.displaytag.tags.TableTag',
the value must be a runtime expression "<%=...%>", since we cannot do
an automatic conversion from "sessionScope.REGISTRATIONS" to type
'java.lang.Object' and there is no custom property editor for that
type
Now, this just seems ridiculous, as what conversion would need to be
made to "java.lang.Object"? Also, I thought that runtime expressions
could only be Strings.
Well, believe it or not, using a Scriptlet to create a String whose
value is "sessionScope.REGISTRATIONS" and then inlining that using an
RT-expression, the thing just worked!
<% String freakishWeblogic61Hack = "sessionScope.REGISTRATIONS"; %>
<display:table name="<%= freakishWeblogic61Hack %>" export="true"
id="row" requestURI="" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
At this point, I'm sending this out in part just to get a solution
into the google-net in case anyone else comes across the same
problem. But also, it just seems like a fragile little hack, and I'm
wondering if anyone knows anything more about it.
Is anyone using displaytag with Weblogic 6.1? Thanks for any
experiences, or even just ideas about how to debug it further.
Thanks,
Joe
