Did you check the dtd or xsd for the order that elements have to be in? I also struggled with this before realizing that in many schemas the order of elements is not arbitrary (although they are quite independent). – Seaborne

@beny: I added web.xml code.Please do me the favour for me. – Moonshine

Answer 1

Taglib is no longer required to be declared in web.xml , please read http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/RemovingTaglibFromWeb.xml

You are using Servlet 2.5, so the instructions should work for you

Aguirre

Answer 2

Modify your web.xml so that all the taglib tags are contained in jsp-config tag. i.e:

 <jsp-config>
     <taglib>
         <taglib-uri></taglib-uri>
         <taglib-location></taglib-location>
     </taglib>
 </jsp-config>

Merrell

before taglib, there is a tag <jsp-config>. I am trying but am not able to write it in my answer. It is showing nothing for that. – Merrell

Answer 3

//within: web.xml file

http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" version="3.1">

<jsp-config>
    <taglib>
        <taglib-uri>/taglib</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/taglib.tld</taglib-location>
    </taglib>
</jsp-config>
