I have been having some problems with packaged tag libraries and have seen
other mentions of this problem on the tomcat-user list. Basically the
problem is that when a taglib is packaged as specified in the JSP 1.2 spec
the following error is returned when trying to use a tag in that library:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: File "/util" not found
where "/util" is the uri specified in the .tld file. Anyway the full
details are in an email posted to the user list.
So the root of the problem appears to be that the TldLocationsCache does not
correctly process .jar files found in the WEB-INF/lib directory. When
inside the processJars() method the call to
ctxt.getResource("/WEB-INF/lib");
returns a URL of - jndi:/orangefood/of/WEB-INF/lib
The code only process the returned URL if the protocol is "file". So I am
not sure if the TldLocationsCache should be more robust and handle a
protocol of "jndi" or if the servlet should return a "file" URL.
In any case this is causing some problems for a few people.
I'd be happy to do any additional investigation if necessary.
Thanks,
Robert Petersen
