Again JSF with Tomcat5

Question

Thanks for your reply. I will repeat my problem once more.
My directory structure is as follows :
login
index.html
index.jsp
web-inf
web.xml
faces-config.xml
html_basic.tld
jsf_core.tld
classes
LoginBean.class
lib
JAR files(We do have all necessary jar files)
The welcome page of my application is index.html which is
displayed properly.But when i click on the hyperlink for "lndex.jsp" it
gives an error message as,
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: File "/login/html" not found
(Actually it is not finding html_basic.tld)
As you told,we have checked the log file of Tomcat and the message is
similar to the above one.We are sending the entire log details as an attachment
(.txt file)
In the index.jsp page i have the following statements:
<%@ taglib uri="html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="core" prefix="f" %>
In my web.xml i am providing the mapping as :
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>html</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/html_basic.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
I feel that I am following all the standard rules for writing a
JSF-based web application .Still can't figure out what the real
problem is? Please help us. Hoping for your reply.
Note : Mr. Martin(markoc50) thanks for ur reply. i am modifying the problem presentation so that u can clearly get it. Also we have followed ur instructions but still the problem can't be resolved.Please help us.

Answer 1

I have in web.xml following JSF tag libraries declaration:
<taglib>
          <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jsf/core</taglib-uri>
          <taglib-location>tld/jsf_core.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
<taglib>
          <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jsf/html</taglib-uri>
          <taglib-location>tld/html_basic.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
web.xml is in WEB-INF, so reference to *.tld files is relative to this WEB-INF directory. I my case is it tld/ subdirectory where all my tlds are stored (JSTL, JSF, custom). In your case I see /WEB-INF/html_basic.tld, but html_basic.tld is in same directory as web.xml.
Also "html" reference name for JSF HTML tag library is possible, but String "html" is frequent. I encourage use standard "http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" and in JSP:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
