Bug report #651 has just been filed. You can view the report at the following URL: <http://znutar.cortexity.com/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/651> REPORT #651 Details. Project: Tomcat Category: Bug Report SubCategory: New Bug Report Class: swbug State: received Priority: medium Severity: serious Confidence: public Environment: Release: 3.2 JVM Release: JDK1.3 Operating System: NT OS Release: 4 Platform: x86 Synopsis: "taglib-location" in web.xml interpreted incorrectly Description: The "taglib-location" element in web.xml is interpreted incorrectly if it is a relative location. Example: WEB-INF/lib/foo.jar is interpreted as /WEB-INF/WEB-INF/lib/foo.jar, i.e. WEB-INF is incorrectly appended. According to the servlet 2.2 specification the DTD says: "<!-- the taglib-location element contains the location (as a resource relative to the root of the web application) where to find the Tag Libary Description file for the tag library. -->" The root of the application is / and not /WEB-INF. If you think that your interpretation *is* correct, then please submit a clarification of this for inclusion in the next revision of the specification/DTD. Currently web applications developed with relative tablib locations are not portable, since Resin adds the prefix "/" and not "/WEB-INF", and Resin does not understand absolute locations as Tomcat does. /Rickard ([EMAIL PROTECTED])Title: BugRat Report # 651
