Myfaces tags do not work under WTP [message #134536]

Hi folks,

I have tried to follow a few examples on how to use myFaces under Eclipse
3.1 WTP and one problem that I am running into is that the tags from the
taglibs are not being recognized by the IDE. I have placed the myfaces.jar
file (among others) in the WEB-INF/lib directory and I can see all the jar
files under the "Web App Libraries" folder within the Dynamic Web Projects
folder of Project Exlporer. I also checked that the tld files are located
within the myfaces.jar file, which they are. So my question is, why does
the IDE not recognize the custom tags in my jsp files? I have placed the
taglib directives into the jsp file:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/extensions" prefix="x"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/wap" prefix="wap" %>

yet this does not seem to make it work. Do I have to explicitly place the
tld files within the WEB-INF folder? I am under the impression that as
long as the tld files are located within the jar file that Eclipse would
recognize them. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Mitch

As long as your JSP files are under the same WebContent folder that
holds the WEB-INF folder, it should work. Are you putting them
elsewhere?
