I think there might be a problem with your tld file.
Try replacing this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">
<taglib>

with this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<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 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">

Thats strange...

the problems you get are normal, IF you should use the

public CustomTag extends TagSupport {}

it uses the doEndTag() and doStartTag(), so you must use them

but you are using the

public class CustomTag extends SimpleTagSupport

...im not familiar with the SimpleTagSupport, but i see that your doTag() should be enough...

The way i see it, you get errors like it would come from Tagsupport, not from SimpleTagSupport...

of course...it could be something in your tld not being right...

Apart from the above mentioned tld changes also check that you are using correct version of jars. SimpleTagSupport was added in JSP-2.0. If you are using an IDE then check the default settings.

Hello,

since the simple SimpleTagSupport is not working and not much resources available, i have tried the to use TagSupport instead.

However i am getting a null pointer exception as follows:



My tld file is in WEB-INF folder:


My java class is found below:


My jsp file is found in WebContent folder as follows:


Any suggestion why i am getting the null pointer exception?

Thanks

See the Similar Problem and its solution. Also This
May be same is the case here. BTW I tested your Simple tag code and its working fine. So I guess problem is not in code. As suggested in the above links please check your JEE version, classpath etc..

and for your classic tag: open the servlet code generated by the test.jsp page named test_jsp.java (you can find it in the "work\Catalina\localhost\" folder in Tomcat installation directory) and see the line 30. This is the line pointed by the stack trace:
org.apache.jsp.test_jsp._jspInit(test_jsp.java:30)
See what's wrong in that line.

Right click on your project node in Package Explorer. Go to Properties->>Project Facets.
Check the Dynamic Web Module version number in Project Facets list.
It must be 2.4 or above for Simple tag support to work.

Also try this : Which Version Am I Running On

Hello,

just done something and its working fine now.

In case someone else have this problem again:

In my lib folder there was the following jar:

jsp api

i have deleted it and instead copied this jar:
j2ee-1.4.jar

It working fine now.

Thanks again for all the help and advice, and Mr Piyush i know you stated earlier that i was using the wrong jar version, you were right and thanks again.

Eek! As posted elsewhere in other topic, you should never have the jee jars in your lib folder! The container supplies those and putting them in lib causes no end of weird problems!
