I have created the tld file and put it in the directly WEB-INF FOLDER.I have written a jsp as well which uses this tag and the uri in the jsp mathces the uri in the tld file. Then it gives me the error message that unable to find the tld file.
then i made entry in the web.xml as well but now it is giving me an error:
JSPG0227E: Exception caught while translating /UseCustom.jsp: /UseCustom.jsp(19,1) --> JSPG0009E: Unable to load tag handler class com.hcl.taghandlers
I am using jstl 1.1 and jsp2.0 and the IBM Rational editor.
please help as soon as possible.

There was a very minute syntax mistake in the web.xml.
now it is working fine.
By the thanks to all those who devoted some time to think over it.

Problem in creating a custom tag

Hi All,
I'm new to jstl. I want to create a custom tag. I created a sample java class and sample tld file and I used this file at my page it give me an error. The java and tag file code is as follow

Your class (according to what is posted) is in the package mytag.
So in your tld: <tagclass>tag.Hello</tagclass>should be<tagclass>mytag.Hello</tagclass>cheers,

How to create a custom tag for a custom converter

In Jdeveloper 11g, I have a project where I have created a custom converter class that impements the javax.faces.convert.Converter class. I have registered the converter with an id in the faces-config.xml file of the project, and the converter works fine by using the <f:converter type="myconverter"> tag. However, the custom converter has a field which I would like to set from the tag itself. Hence, I would like to add an attribute to <f:converter> tag if possible or create a custom tag that has the attribute.
I have done some reserach and I found that a custom tag can be implemented: I need to create a class which extends from the ConverterTag class or javax.faces.webapp.ConverterElTag class, which I did, but I also need to create ".tld" (tag library) file which defines the tag itself.
The part about creating the ".tld" file and registring the new tag is what I'm not sure how to do.
Does someone know how to do this?
thank you

Hi frank,
that's a good document, and it explains how to make a custom converter. I already created the custom converter, it converts a number to any currency pattern. I know java already has a currency converter, but it doesn't support Rupee currency format, and I need that format.
My converter works, but I would like to pass the pattern of the format through an attribute in a tag. Since f:converter doesn't seem to support that, I created a custom tag which uses my converter, and it enables me to pass a pattern to the converter.
All of that works, but I need to be able to pass the pattern as an EL expression, and it's not evaluating the expression before passing it to the converter. It just passes the whole expression as a string. I'm thinking It may be something I'm doing wrong.
this is the tag library definition file:
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">

Unable to create a customizing request to transport BPC10 content to Quality

Hi
Unable to create a customizing request to transport BPC10 content to Quality .
From the transport connections tab, i am selecting the required objects and then clicking the transport truck but it does not pop up and ask for a transport request .
So please provide any solution.

Hi,
Check whether Standard transport switched-on is enabled or not. To get transport request your setting should be as follows : RSA1-->Transport Connection-->Edit-->Transport

Trying to create a custom tag

I want to create a custom tag that has a attribute that ask
for a number. like below...
<cf_makeattributes number="?">
Now say I made that number something like 5
<cf_makeattributesnumber=
"5">
I would like for the tag to take that number and make 5
attributes called "Form" in a array from 1 to 5 like below...
<cfset attributes.form = arraynew(1)>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#attributes.number#">
#attributes.form
</cfloop>
Is it possible to make a tag that ask for a number like 5 and
make 5 attributes and within the same tag assign values to those 5
attributes. for example consider the above.
<cf_makeattributes number="5" attribute1="hi"
attribute2="hello" attribute3="howdy" attribute4="hey"
attribute5="HOWE!">
or say i want to make 2 attributes and assign 2 values to
those attributes
<cf_makeattributes number="2" attribute1="This tag asked
for 2 numbers" attribute2="and therefore gave me the ability to
make 2 attributes">
I also have another question that kinda applies to the
question above.
How does the coldfusion server read the tags. for example
look at below
<cf_makeattributes number="2" attribute1="hello"
attribute2="world">
would the server read it like this...
step 1
<
cf_makeattributes number="2" attribute1="hello"
attribute2="world">
step 2
<cf_makeattributes
number="2" attribute1="hello" attribute2="world">
step 3
makeattributes.CFM (it now goes to the template that holds
the tags scripts)
Or does it first read all thats bold below
<cf_makeattributes
number="2" attribute1="hello" attribute2="world">
then goes to the makeattributes template. Is there away I
can compile my script one step at a time like C# and C++ just to
see the steps
PLUS Do i have to put my custom tag into a specific folder or
can I just put it in the same folder as the document thats calling
the custom tag

> I could either make a bunch of attributes that will grab
all the
> values or I could loop out a array of attributes. Thats
my goal
I was with you until that line. The term attributes is
confusing in this context. I'm not sure if you're talking about
attributes in a generic sense or the custom tag attribute
scope.
> Now here wat im thinking now. What if instead I put the
forms in a list. something like this...
> <cf_Formentry
Forms="#Form.one#,#form.two#,#form.three#">
Do you mean form
fields?
Let's try this from a different angle. Can you give a
concrete example of the desired results using this form?
<form>
<input name="username1" value="Alice">
<input name="username2" value="Bob">
<input name="username3" value="Kyle">
<input name="username4" value="Michelle">
<input name="username5" value="Robert">
</form>

Unable to Create a custom folder in Discoverer Administrator

Hi,
I have a discoverer report which is based on on standard query(Which cant be modified).The requirement is to add a new column to it which doesn't exist in that folder.I can create a custom folder and add the column to the report,but the problem is whenever i create the folder and hit the Validate SQL button it is throwing the error " *The custom SQL entered is not valid SQL statement - ORA-00942: table or view does not exist* "
I have all the privileges for the user and when I am trying to validate the existing queries ,it is throwing the same error .
Discoverer Version - 4 i
Oracle Application - 11.5.9
Appreciate your help .
Thanks ,
Vijay

Hi,
Creating new folders should be done when you are logged on as an application user.
If your application user does not have admin access to the EUL then log on the Disco Admin as the EUL owner and grant full admin privileges to an applications user or responsibility.
Then logon to Disco Admin with that user or responsibility. You should then be able to create and import folders.

How to create the customizing TAG coloum in So10 transaction

Hi All,
I need to create the Tag Coloum in in SO10 ( standard text) transaction .
Basically i want to create the customised tag format and attach it to the format where we will see all the standard tag in so10.
I need to create the TAG in which first line should be start from 0.00 and from the second line onwards it should be start from the 2.3 .
Dhiraj.

Dhiraj,
What you will have to do is to create a separate STYLE in sMART FORMS transaction and assign that STYLE to the TEXT in S010. You can do that Format --> Change STYLE.
The tag column contains format keys which define the output formatting of the text or initiate control commands. The format keys possible and their respective meanings are defined in styles or forms. If a style or form is assigned to a text module you can use the paragraph formats defined there to format your text. Format keys which can be defined by the user can consist of one or two characters.
I have not tried this though.

Ravi

If you go to the page where it lists all the forums and scroll way, way, down you will find there's a JSP forum. That is really where you should post this kind of question.

How to create a new custom tag in JSF 1.2

Hi there,
In JSF 1.2, all the classes (CommandButtonTag, CommandLinkTag, DataTableTag,...) in package com.sun.faces.taglib.html_basic are defined as final class. In JSF 1.1, we can create a custom tag that extends the tag in JSF taglib; it save us lots of time.
Could anybody know how to create a new custom tag in JSF 1.2?
Many thanks,
Emily

If I recall, it was done because how tags were to be handled in 1.2 was very different from 1.1 and it was felt that developers shouldn't rely on implementation specific classes (unless they were SPI) for several other reasons (application portability being the big one here).
If it's felt that this was the wrong decision, please feel free to log an issue [1] against the RI (to date, no one has).
As to the 'borked' dependency URLs, please log an issue [1] if you find these. We have nightly builds going that work from a clean workspace and checking today's result, it seems ok.

Custom Tag attribute

Hi folks,
I am trying to create a custom tag that accepts a java.util.Locale as a parameter, and for some reason the container is giving me all kinds of attitude. Here's the detail:
----from the .tld---
<tag>
     <name>loadMasthead</name>
     <tag-class>uiTagHandlers.LoadMasthead</tag-class>
     <body-content>empty</body-content>

          <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
         <type>java.util.Locale</type>
     </attribute>
</tag> ---end tld--
from the jsp-
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/simpleUITags.tld" prefix="helper" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Locale" %>
<helper:loadMasthead locale="<%= Locale.US %>" />---end jsp----
---from the handler-----
     public int doTagStart() throws JspTagException{
          JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut();
          try{
               if( locale != null)
                    out.print( UIHelper.loadMasthead(locale) );
               else
                    out.print( UIHelper.loadMasthead() );
          }catch( Exception ex ){
               throw new JspTagException( ex.getMessage() );
     return SKIP_BODY;
     public int doTagEnd() throws JspTagException{
     return SKIP_PAGE;
      * Sets the locale.
      * @param locale The locale to set
     public void setLocale(java.util.Locale locale) {
          this.locale = locale;
end handler---
Here's the error I'm getting from the container:

Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

The taglib always passes a string. The container is supposed to change it to the proper object, but some do not, as it wasn't clear in the original specs (I found various bug reports). My container does not do this properly for taglibs, so I ended up using a bean, which it processed correctly.
Your container can't figure out how to change the String it receives to the Locale object it's supposed to set the property to.
I found a similar problem displayed here:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4727371
You'd need to check with your container docs to see if yours is supposed to be able to do the conversion. If not, you'll either need to write it yourself or do what I did and use a bean so it never passes a string to begin with.

Custom tag with rendered attribute

Is it possible to create a custom tag that operates similar to a JSF tag with the rendered attribute? Wrapping output with c:if test="..." is not as nice as the JSF rendered option, but I don't want to use JSF for this particular project.
Edited by: black_lotus on Nov 23, 2007 12:13 PM

TLD File, per your previous recommendation:
<attribute>
     <name>disabled</name>
     <required>false</required>
     <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
     <type>boolean</type>
</attribute>My Tag class (snippet):
public class ButtonTag extends TagSupport
private boolean disabled;
public ButtonTag() {}
public boolean isDisabled()
     return disabled;
public void setDisabled(boolean b)
    disabled = b;
}A sample of the jsp file invoking it:
<c:set var="result" value="${computedValue}"/>
<ltm:button disabled="${result}"/>Regardless of the value of result, ("true" or "false") it always passes false to the setDisabled method of the button tag class.
