my web.xml does not know taglib tag

Question

I want to use html tags in my jsp, so I have to add the tag lib in web.xml when I add these lines to web.xml:

<taglib>
    <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-html</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

it does not know taglib tag

Answer 1

Newer versions of the JSP/Servlet containers do not require the taglib entry in the web.xml since containers will automatically find it.

You only need the <%@ taglib %> directive in your JSP page for using .tld files:

<%@ taglib prefix="html" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" %>
