Eclipse : can not find the tag directory

Hi ,

i'm getting this error "the can not find the tag directory "/WEB-INF/tags"" but i'm sure that the directory (/WEB-INF/tag) exists under the root project.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" pageEncoding="utf-8"%>

<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="squash" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>

Solution

  • You have to include/add standard.jar and jstl.jar (or simply add http://download.java.net/maven/1/jstl/jars/jstl-1.2.jar - no need to include standard.jar ) to your web-project via:

    1. Right mouse click on project name at Project Explorer
    2. Build Path + Configure Build Path + Libraries + Add External Jars + Select the downloaded jstl.jar and standard.jar (If you've installed tomcat then you will find these .jars at X:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.22\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\lib) folder.
