Unable to load tag handler class !!

[namrata suri]

Hi,
I have a jsp where I am using the following taglibs

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/lib/struts-html-el.tld" prefix="html-el"%> 

I am using them as below:

<html-el:image onclick="javascript:popUp('success1.jsp')" src="images/images.jpg"  property="key" value="${mapVals.key}" />

The reason I included html-el tag was because with html, I had to use a bean:write for the value and that was not getting passed correctly. Hence, I shifted to <html-el>. But, i am getting the error

The tag handler class for html-el:image (org.apache.strutsel.taglib.html.ELImageTag) was not found on the build path
and
Unable to load tag handler class.

Help!!

This seems like a Struts question to me so I'll move it there.

Did you include the required Struts library jar files in your application??

@Ankit

Yes, I included struts.jar, struts-html-el.tld as well
I have a doubt though.

My struts,jar and struts-html-el.tld are from 1.8 but other jar files
are from other versions of struts. Is that a problem.?

I checked my Struts 1.3 distribution and the EL tag library is not a part of core struts 1.3. You'll have to include a separate jar file for it (struts-el-1.3.8.jar in my case). Also if you put that file under WEB-INF\lib folder, you don't need to put the struts-html-el.tld in the WEB-INF folder yourself, the container will load the TLD file from the jar file itself...

I included the struts-el.jar file and now I am not getting the build path error.

But, when I am compiling, I still get an error as follows for the following line of code

<html-el:image onclick="javascript:popUp(success1.jsp)" src="images/fm_hover_pointer.jpg" property="key" value="${'mapVals.key'}"></html-el:image>

,saying expression cannot be evaluated. The reason I shifted to html-el was so that I could pass the value on to the jsp whenever the image was clicked. I do not know how to proceed further because, <bean:write> is not working under value attribute because of the quotes compatibility issues.

The parameter to the onclick function must still be legal JavaScript. The value attribute's expression should not be quoted.
