Question

I am getting the infamous TldLocationsCache: null. 🙁

My taglib is inside the META-INF of my jar. So in my web.xml I do:

<jsp-config> 
   <taglib> 
      <taglib-uri>myTags</taglib-uri> 
      <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/myTagLib-2.0.0.jar</taglib-location> 
   </taglib> 
</jsp-config> 

And on my JSP:

<%@ taglib uri="myTags" prefix="m" %>

But then I get:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to initialize TldLocationsCache: null
    org.apache.jasper.compiler.TldLocationsCache.init(TldLocationsCache.java:248)
    org.apache.jasper.compiler.TldLocationsCache.getLocation(TldLocationsCache.java:219)
    org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.getTldLocation(JspCompilationContext.java:553)

I am running Tomcat6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

<taglib-location> should refer to the .tld, so change

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/myTagLib-2.0.0.jar</taglib-location>

to

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/myTagLib-2.0.0.tld</taglib-location>

or something similar with the path of the tld file.
