Hello Dennis, i just found this line in the jsp spec 1.1:
5.2.1 Packaged Tag Libraries JSP page authoring tools are required to accept a Tag Library that is packaged as a JAR file. When packaged sot he JAR file must have a tag library descriptor file named META-INF/taglib.tld. After all those years i have just learned something new. I always extracted taglibs, added the taglib mappings to the web.xml and thats it. I do not know why. Never asked myself. And so i can ask myself from now on as well: why would i continue to want that? And i can answer then: because i can. But of course i will change this behaviour just from today on. :-) Thank you a lot.
