Trying to run taglibs on Mac OS10.2.6, running Tomcat 4 in conjunction with Apache 1.3 - apparently the file at http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/datetime-1.0 can't be loaded via http - nor the other *-1.0 files - JSP is otherwise functional, no problems with any other internet connections. Problem keeps repeating. Have these files been moved to a new location or deleted? I've looked all over apache.org for them. I've checked the online documentation and can't find any answers. Hope this qualifies as a bug. Following is the top part of the Tomcat error reporting page appearing in browser window: HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: This absolute uri (http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/datetime-1.0) cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:105) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:430) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:154) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:159) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:354) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:381) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:795) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:122) etc...
What version of Tomcat are you using? I just tried it with Tomcat 4.1.30 and it worked fine. Felipe PS: a JSP 1.2 container automatically maps the URIs in the TLD files contained inside the taglibs jars. For instance, when my Tomcat 4.1.30 server goes up, it shows the following message: ContextConfig[/datetime]: Scanning JAR at resource path '/WEB-INF/lib/taglibs-datetime.jar' ContextConfig[/datetime]: Processing TLD at 'META-INF/taglib.tld' ContextConfig[/datetime]: Scanning TLD at resource path '/WEB-INF/taglibs-datetime.tld'
