You are correct. I removed the reference from the web.xml and it worked.
To summarize what you said:
1. Place the taglibs jar file in your classpath
2. Use the <[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri=...%> with the string located in the <uri>
element
in the .TLD file of the taglib you wish to use.
Just to verify:
The URI is no really referring to a real resource on the web, it's just
a unique name for the taglib, right?
Thank alot for your help! Saved me a few hours of research!
