JSP Custom tag uri problem

Question

I'm using custom tags in my app (JSP 1.2). My tld is located in WEB-INF/tlds (not packaged in a JAR), meaning that the uri in the tld file should be picked up by JSP 1.2's autodiscovery. This works fine in actual deployment, but Nitrox claims that:
"The tag library uri "mytaglib" cannot be mapped to an existing tld file. "
when I attempt to reference it as follows from within my jsps:
<%@ taglib uri="mytaglib" prefix="m" %>
Do you know if this is a bug, or have any suggestions as to why the tld uri isn't being picked up by Nitrox?
Thanks,
John

Answer 1

This is a known (kind of) issue. There are 2 easy workarounds:
1- Specify the path to the tld file in the uri attribute. For example:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/mytaglib.tld" prefix="m" %>
2- Map the tld file in web.xml. For example:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>mytaglib</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/mytaglib.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
