Folks, here's how I did it.
Open the file causing the trouble, in this case commontags.tld
, displaytag.tld
and struts-config.xml
and make a fake edit i.e add/delete a line
. And voila! All the errors are mysteriously gone!
Flashback: I had to fake edit my application.xml
earlier when the .war
file was not showing up in the WebSphere Enterprise Applications tab on Administrative Console.
I assume for some reasons the
.ear
file in my local server was not updated even after re-deploying.
A better explanation is most welcome! Thanks!
PS: I am still getting a HTTP 404 Not Found
error on deploying the web app but this question is done here.
