[Merrill Higginson]

As stated in another thread, all your <taglib> definitions must go under <jsp-config>.

[Naseem Khan]

jsp-config tag has two elements: <taglib> and <jsp-property-group>

taglib comes first then jsp-property-group

[Naseem Khan]

What version of Tomcat ypu are using?

I tried your last posted web.xml and it worked on my Tomcat 5.5.8 servlet/jsp container.

Naseem

[Nakata kokuyo]

i'm using 5.59 , would it possible cause by conf\web.xml ? i need to check it out again ...

[Jan Groth]

if you change something in tomcat's configuration it's usually a good idea to delete the work directory. tomcat sometimes caches config data there, which can be really really annoying if you are playing with different settings...

[Nakata kokuyo]

i have try delete the work webapp folder , it give same result
