Question

My project structure in eclipse -

enter image description here

Header.tag - 

<%@ taglib prefix="myTags" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags"%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img src="../images/java_logo.gif"><br>
</body>
</html>

MyTagUser.jsp - 

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<myTags:Header/>
Java is awesome !
</body>
</html>

Output is 'Java is awesome'. No image or image placeholder is displayed. What is my mistake ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The <%@ taglib %> directive has to go in the JSP that calls out to the tag, so that it knows where to find it. Not in the tag itself (unless that tag itself uses other tags).
