Can not find the tag library descriptor of springframework

Question

I'm trying to follow the example of spring JPetStore but I get an error in the JSP pages in the line that references the lib tag spring:

Can not find the tag library descriptor for "http://www.springframework.org/tags"

<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>

What is the URL of this library?

Is there any way to avoid the direct dependence on this URL?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

1. Download the Spring dependency jar
2. Place it to the lib folder path is /WEB-INF/lib/spring.jar

3. Then open the web.xml and the sample code is:

   <taglib>
     <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/spring.tld</taglib-uri>
     <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/spring.tld</taglib-location>
   </taglib>
   

4. Then the taglib is indicated where the jar file locates in ur system.

   <%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="/WEB-INF/spring.tld" %>
