[Sushma Sharma]

Hi, I am trying to test the EL function as specified at page 389 in HFSJ book.
below is my .tld file.

random.tld

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">

<tlib-version>1.2</tlib-version>
<uri>RandomFunctions</uri>
<function>
<name>random</name>
<function-class>test.Random</function-class>
<function-signature>
int getRandom()
</function-signature>
</function>
</taglib>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to run my JSP file, I am getting following exception : should there be any jsp-version tag in tld file?

Your problem is solved but I would like to add that <jsp-version> tag was used in tlds in JSP v1.2. In jsp 2.0 , it has been denoted by version attribute of taglib tag.
