Struts - struts-taglib.jar not found

Question

I am new to Struts. I downloaded Struts2 from its website. Now I want to refer struts-html.tld file in one of my JSP files.

But when I looked for struts-taglib.jar file in the downloaded struts, I didn't find it.

Answer 1

Download the full distribution - it has everything included.

Answer 2

There exists only one tag library in struts2. It is completely different compared to struts1. The tag library is struts-tags.tld which can be found in META-INF folder in struts-core-.jar.

Answer 3

All the jar files in struts2 are located in:

..\struts-2.3.15\lib

However, I am not sure if there is such thing as struts-taglib.jar

You might be thinking of:

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>

required jar for that is: struts2-core-2.x.x.jar

Answer 4

Download from the given link http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts23163 In this link go to final distribution.

Answer 5

Please download the full distribution from the struts website, and build a project out of their showcase.war if you download the latest version which is 2.5.x or struts-blank.war if you download 2.3.x. This way you will have all the required libraries in your project. I have had all kinds of issues trying to figure out jar file.

Answer 6

I had the same problem. I resolved it by downloading the struts-taglib-1.3.5 jar separately and put it under /WEB-INF/lib where all my other jar files are. After that just include the line : <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html" %> in your jsp and it should work.

Or

You could include : <%@ taglib prefix="ss" uri="/struts-tags" %>

Both of these methods worked for me.
