Question

I am trying to follow the tutorial for JSP Templates at:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/jsp_templates/

I am struggling to understand the <%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/template.tld' prefix='template' %> tag.

What is the template.tld file, where does this come from?

I have tried to download the Resourses file of source code but this just contains a src.jar file. How do I use this? I can’t even open the file!?! How do I see the source code example?

Answer 1

It’s in the jstl.jar. You need standard.jar and jstl.jar in your WEB-INF/lib for JSTL.

You can get what you need here:

http://tomcat.apache.org/taglibs/

Download the standard tag library and all its JARs; put them in your WEB-INF/lib directory.
