Taglib Error

Question

          I'm getting the following error when deploying a simple taglib in a war file :
          Could not parse deployment descriptor: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Could not
          parse: taglib starting at line 1
          the location of the tag lib is the WEB-INF/user-taglib.tld
          the web.xml file contains the following reference to that tld file
          <taglib>
          <taglib-uri>user-taglib.tld</taglib-uri>
          <taglib-location>WEB-INF/user-taglib.tld</taglib-location>
          </taglib>
          the code in the jsp refers to the tag lib as follows:
          <%@ taglib uri="user-taglib.tld" prefix="u" %>
          I have meesed with the taglib-uri setting a number of times, using user, taglib.jar,
          and user-taglib.tld. I always get the same error though. This is quite frustrating
          as it seems as if I am following the documentation to the letter. Obviously something
          is messed up, but I can't seem to pinpoint it.
          Anyone who can help, Thanks - Matt
          

Answer 1

          Dunno - looks ok - except that the shortname (user) does not match the name in
          your <%@ taglib .... prefix=u ... %>
          - but i don't think that matters.
          Looking at mine, I have
          <%@ taglib uri="/ea.tld" prefix="ea" %>
          - note the '/' in front of ea.tld.
