[SOLVED] URI for using Java Spring Tags

URI for using Java Spring Tags

Inorder to use Spring Form Tags in JSP file following is taglib element I added :-

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

And I used this reference for the same.

However, Eclipse is not able to find the Tag Library Desciptor file. What is the correct URI?

Solution

The uri is correct.

Make sure:

You have the Eclipse plugin Web Tools Project (WTP) installed
You have all the Spring jars in your build path
That the project has the facet "Dynamic Web Module" (go to Project Facets)
Make sure that it is a JSP file and not a JSPX

If its JSPX the notation would look more like:

<html xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
      xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
      xmlns:tiles="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"
      xmlns:form="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"
      xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/tags"
      xmlns:util="urn:jsptagdir:/WEB-INF/tags/util">
