[XQZone General] JSP Tag library question

Fri May 6 18:21:49 PDT 2005

    That's progress.  It means the web container knows
which classes to use for the tags.

    The error you're seeing indicates the container can't
find the classes in the jar file.  Double check that
MLXQueryTaglib.jar is in WEB-INF/lib under your web
app and that it's readable.

    It may require re-deploying your web app, or even
restarting, depending on the container you're using.

    Use the .war file including in the JSP distribution
as a guide if you're still having trouble.
