Taglib and JSP problem

Question

Hi!
I cannot determine why I'm getting the following error:
I've installed Apache Tomcat/4.0.6
"PARSE error at line 6 column 19
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "taglib" must be declared."
Can you tell why the parser does not recognize it?
Appreciate any help.

Answer 1

this is a wild guess, but make sure the taglib text you added to your web.xml doens't contain funky characters you may have copied from some web page. i.e. retype it by hand if you copied it.
If that isn't it.. sorry i don't see a problem.
