Q:Custom Taglibs in jDeveloper 9i RC

Question

I'm making a project with jsp's and custom taglibs. I created the taglib with the wizard and it is saved in ..\src\META-INF\xxx.tld. But when I need to it into the JSP it searches for a tld file from the public_html directory.
Should I copy this file manually in the public_html directory ? Or should I change a setup somewhere ? I also did a deployment of the taglib into a .jar file. Is there a way to include and use it directly ?
Thanks !

Hi Mike, thanks for your help, it works.
But now, the problem moved to another point: EL Expressions.
My custom taglib needs to receive BPMObjects attributes (by EL assignment), so:
If i keep the <install_dir>\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\web.xml file as standard my ${object.attribute} is passed by as a string, not a EL, even if my custom tld accepts EL.
If I change the web.xml above, turning off the <el-ignored> configuration it works
<jsp-config>
        <jsp-property-group>
            <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
            <is-xml>false</is-xml>
        </jsp-property-group>
        <jsp-property-group>
            <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
            <url-pattern>*.jspf</url-pattern>
            <el-ignored>false</el-ignored>
        </jsp-property-group>
    </jsp-config>but then i get a problem with core jstl "c" using this URI
*<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>*
According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions
even if a change it URI to
*<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>*
i have
The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
So, have you faced this issue before? There is an way to change the core tld file within obpm jars?
thanks again
