Error Using Custom Tag

I am trying to use a custom tag but receive an error when I use it on a jsp page.
I have a tag handler class file, tag library descriptor file, specified the path to the .tld in the web.xml file.
The error implies that it cannot find the SimpleTag.class file, though I put it in the \webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\ directory.
Here is the error. Does anyone know what else it could be?
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
Generated servlet error:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\work\localhost\examples\jsp\jspVisual\ch10\using_0005ftag$jsp.java:63: Class org.apache.SimpleTag not found.
SimpleTag_jspx_th_myFirstTag_SimpleTag_0 = new SimpleTag();

I could not see any obvious mistakes. But what you could try, in order to isolate the problem, is to bypass the web.xml. In other words access the TLD directly by doing this in your JSP
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/jsp/tag_library_descriptor.tld" prefix="myFirstTag" %>
if that does work then move the your TLD out of the jsp folder and into WEB-INF , then try
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tag_library_descriptor.tld" prefix="myFirstTag" %>
Maybe someone else has better idea.

Illegal access error at runtime

Hi,
I am getting an illegal access error while trying to call a method.
- Class1 tries to call method on Class2.
- Method has package visibility
- Both classes are in same package.
- Class1 is being invoked by a class in a Web Application which is
in a completely different package. Class1 gets invoked properly
and then instantiates Class2. It then tries to call the method on
Class2.
- Compiler is compiling successfully i.e. no compile time errors
Any clues?
Env:
JDK 1.4.2_01
App Server Tomcat 4.0.6
Thanks

AashishThe problem is the Class1 and Class2 are being loaded by different classloaders. Because of this, they are considered to be in different packages by the VM, and hence the IllegalAccessError.
To correct this, make sure both classes are only available in a single classloader context. So if these classes are only used by the WebApp, include them in a jar in WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes..
If yyou need access to these across multiple webapps, or by some other non-webapp classes, place them in the /common/lib directory for Tomcat.
Whatever you do, MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T avaialble in BOTH! Which is what appears to be the problem now.

Can i make own formatted textbox using custom tag

Hai,
Can i create own format textbox similar to vb activex control.for example i want make own formatted textbox for enter only numeric value if entry any alpha value it's show error.Is this possible using custom tag

Hai,
Can i create own format textbox similar to vb
activex control.for example i want make own
formatted textbox for enter only numeric value if
entry any alpha value it's show error.Is this
possible using custom tag
If you mean a custom text box in a web page without an applet (in other words an html component), then Java has nothing to do with it. And by mentioning activex (even only in a 'like' comparison), and custom tag, you are once again hinting that you want an html component. I think you need to place your request to a JavaScript Forum, which, once again, has absolutely nothing to do with Java.
A "custom tag" in JSP is not an HTML Tag. It may look a little like an html or xml tag, but it is evaluated on the server side. The control you need must be executed on the client side, which, once again, tells me you need to post to a JavaScript forum.

Can i use Custom Tags for Database retrieval (as per MVC pattern)?

In our project we are dealing with database, and i've used the Cutom Tags for database retrieval (as per the Article from Mr Faisal Khan) and it is working fine. But i have a doubt if it affects the performance in any way . I wanted to know if its recommendable to use Custom Tags for the DB retrieval as per MVC Pattern or shall i create a intermediate bean and then call the bean in custom tag.
Thanks
Prakash

Putting database code in your JSPs certainly couples your view to the database. That's usually not good.
If it's a simple app, it might be justified.
When you start having lots of pages and complex business logic it becomes less attractive. - MOD

Navigate using custom tag

Hello folks,
I am trying to navigate to a servlet from a jsp using the navigate() javascript method. Within the method I am using a custom tag to supply the web context root. If I use request.getContextPath() everything is fine, but if I use the custom tag (which is what I want), I get an "Object Expected" error. Code snippet below. Any help would be appreciated.
<SCRIPT type="text/JavaScript">
function doSomething() {
navigate('<context:GetWebContextRoot/>/servlet/framework.components.LogonControllerServlet?command=logoff');
</SCRIPT>

If <context:GetWebContextRoot/> is indeed a
JSP tag , what is it doing inside a javascript
string? Put it outside the single quotes (and add it
to the js string), otherwise it won't be processed by
the server.Tried that already,
navigate(<context:GetWebContextRoot/> + '/servlet/framework.components.LogonControllerServlet?command=logoff');here is the resulting source:
navigate(/MyApp '/servlet/framework.components.LogonControllerServlet?command=logoff');Same error.

Problem deploying and using custom Tags in jar files

I am trying to create a custom tag library of Java classes, package them in a JAR file, and use them in another web application. Here is the JAR file structure, named mytags.jar:
META-INF
META-INF/manifest.mf
META-INF/taglib.tld
mytags/FooBar.class
mytags/Another.class
...Here is the taglib.tld file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
   <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
   <short-name>foo</short-name>
   <uri>fooTags</uri>
   <info>My tags</info>
   <tag>
     <name>fooBar</name>
     <tag-class>mytags.FooBar</tag-class>
     <body-content>empty</body-content>
     <attribute>
       <name>name</name>
       <required>false</required>
       <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
     </attribute>
</tag>
</taglib>The FooBar class has getName(String) and setName() methods.
In the web application, I have copied mytags.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory. I've verified that it lands in the corresponding directory for my appserver (I'm using Tomcat 6.0.10).
Here's the header for my JSP:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib uri="fooTags" prefix="foo" %>
<foo:fooBar name="dummy" />
...When I access my page, the browser sits there and spins, not able to do anything. I know that some of the content is executed, but it is not able to get to the fooTags. I have tried replacing fooTags with WEB-INF/lib/mytags.jar, to no effect.
According to the docs, I should not need to include anything in web.xml to reference the fooTags. The tag library classes are valid, since I used them as local tags prior to moving them into a Jar library.
Any help would be appreciated

Take the code of the jsp file :
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<html>
   <head>
     <title> First Struts Application </title>

With an [HTTP status code|http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html] of 500, the most helpful information for debugging the problem is usually in the server's log file. There should be a stack trace in the web or application server's log file that will contain the specific root cause of this. It is often a NullPointerException or ClassNotFoundException or other "common" exception.

JSPs using Custom Tag with Boolean attribute cannot compile

Hi,
In Oracle9iAS(9.0.3), a jsp using a tag extension, which has a Boolean attribute, caused the following compile error, although the jsp is valid in other web containers.
ERROR:
/opt/oracle/j2ee/home/application-deployments/simple/simple/persistence/_pages/_test.java:56: Method toBoolean(java.lang.Boolean) not found in class _test.
__jsp_taghandler_1.setExists( OracleJspRuntime.toBooleanObject( toBoolean( b)));
JSP:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="jnpr" uri="/WEB-INF/testtag.tld" %>
<%
Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf("true");
%>
<jnpr:TestTag exists="<%= b%>"/>
The boolean value is <%= b %>
Tag Handler:
package defaultpak;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
public class TestTag extends TagSupport{
private Boolean exists = null;
private java.lang.Boolean getExists() {
return exists;
public void setExists(java.lang.Boolean newExists) {
exists = newExists;
public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
return super.doStartTag();
Is this a known problem? Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks in advance.
Fred

This is a known issue with 903, fixed in coming 904.
In 903 the workaround is to use primitive type "boolean" instead of Object type "java.lang.Boolean" in user's getter and setter code for the taglib.

How to use Custom Tags for Theme and Base Map Definitions

In Mapviewer documentation I've found the following new feature:
The XML definition of a theme or base map now supports application-specific
attribute tags. You can use the Custom Tags option in the theme definition in Map
Builder to specify tags and their values, which can be interpreted by your application
but are ignored by MapViewer itself.
I'm able to define a custom tag in Mapbuilder, but how can I use it in my Application?
Thanks.

As he said, you have to use as Platform service to create adapter in OIM.
tcUserOperationsIntf service = Platform.getService(Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf.class);
HashMap<String,String> searchmap=new HashMap<String,String>();
searchmap.put("Users.User ID", userID);
tcResultSet searchset=service.findAllUsers(searchmap);

Creating drop down menus in JSP using custom tags

Hi, i am working on a JSP which has custom tags for displaying menubar and menus, now i want to have these menus converted into drop down menus, and the submenus displayed onmouseover event. I am getting solutions with pure html page calling javascript functions.But i dont need this, i want the work done by my TagHandler class which sends the output to output stream, which in turn is transformed in to actual HTML by a XSLT embedded in my JSP.
Please help as i am new to custom tags, and desperately in need of help.
If possible give some sample code or useful links.
I will be highly grateful.
Thankx in advance

that's fine, but the tag has to, ultimately, generate the HTML/Javascript stuff like you've already seen.
