Try it without the <taglib>...</taglib> in web.xml. Tomcat (and any other JSP-2.0 container) will pick up a .tld in /META-INF of a jar file in WEB-INF/lib automagically.
Unfortunately, Jasper is hiding the root cause of the Exception that is being thrown, so I can't see why it's unhappy :(. If the above doesn't fix anything, check the file permissions under WEB-INF (e.g. the user Tomcat is running as can read and list all directories). "Justin Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I am using tomcat version 5.5.12 and am getting the following exception and cannot find a way around the issue. Google isn't offering much. I have also included my web.xml below. One site on google mentioned that taglib declarations should no longer use the <!DOCTYPE .. command. I also have included my taglib definition. I have been struggling with this for a couple of days, and now need to resort to the experts, so you help is greatly appreciated.
