how to use taglib

You can place ur .tld file any where under WEB-INF,

(That is directly under WEB-INF or in sub folders under WEB-INF)

but u need to give exact path to that .tld ,in ur web.xml file like

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/.../my.tld</taglib-location>

First u install jdk and Tomcat software

set this in ur environment variable..

click new button

and first rowJAVA_HOME

second rowc:\jdk1.4

click again new button

first rowCATALINA_HOME

second rowc:\tomcat5.0

click again new button

first rowCLASSPATH

second row.;%classpath%;c:\tomcat5.0\common\lib\servlet.jar; //what ever u have to store or set classpath ..u just add near by semicolon

create ur own dir under [ c:\tomcat5.0\webapps ]

for ex:

******

c:\tomcat5.0\webapps\sample

under sample dir u have to create WEB-INF(folder or dir)

under WEB-INF dir create

1) lib

2) tlds

3) src

4) classes

lib dir for storing library files

tlds for tag library files

src for java , javabeans,servlets....

classes for all compiled java files..

create one [ web.xml ] file under WEB-INF

copy this below code in web.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
