Can not find the tag library descriptor of springframework

Question

I m trying to follow the example of spring JPetStore but I get an error in the JSP pages in the line that references the lib tag spring   Can not find the tag library descriptor for  http   www springframework org tags    lt    taglib prefix  spring  uri  http   www springframework org tags    gt    What is the URL of this library   Is there any way to avoid the direct dependence on this URL   Thanks in advance

you have to add the dependency for springs mvc

tray adding that in your pom

<!-- mvc -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

If you want direct link   https   github com spring-projects spring-framework blob master spring-webmvc src main resources META-INF spring-form tld  Or from repos   JCenter   link  Maven Central   link  And if you need as Gradle dependency   compile  org springframework spring-webmvc 4 1 6 RELEASE  More information about spring-form  http   docs spring io spring docs current spring-framework-reference html spring-form tld html

Download the Spring dependency jar Place it to the lib folder path is  WEB-INF lib spring jar Then open the web xml and the sample code is    lt taglib gt     lt taglib-uri gt  WEB-INF spring tld lt  taglib-uri gt     lt taglib-location gt  WEB-INF spring tld lt  taglib-location gt   lt  taglib gt   Then the taglib is indicated where the jar file locates in ur system    lt    taglib prefix  spring  uri   WEB-INF spring tld    gt

Here is another case   We have several portlets in different portlet application war and all of them use spring  So in order to reduce size of each war  we have created shared libraries for spring jars in the WebSphere Portal server   However  I came across the same issue as above of not having the spring form tags being referred from the jsp files   In order to resolve  I have copied the spring-form tld file into the WEB-INF  directory and redeployed the war and it worked   Hope it helps for anyone having a similar issue as mine

I know it s an old question  but the tag library http   www springframework org tags is provided by spring-webmvc package  With Maven it can be added to the project with the following lines to be added in the pom xml   lt properties gt       lt spring version gt 3 0 6 RELEASE lt  spring version gt   lt  properties gt    lt dependencies gt        lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org springframework lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt spring-webmvc lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt   spring version  lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt    Without Maven  just add that jar to your classpath  In any case it s not necessary to refer the tld file directly  it will be automatically found

This problem normally appears while copy pasting the tag lib URL from the internet  Usually the quotes    in which the URL http   www springframework org tags is embedded might not be correct  Try removing quotes and type them manually  This resolved the issue for me

User · Answer

The TLD should be located in the spring jar  Your application won t have any dependency on that URL  It s just used as a unique name to identify the tag library  They could just as well have made the URI   spring-tags   but using URLs is pretty common place

I finally configured RAD to build my Maven-based project  but was getting the following exception when I navigate to a page that uses the Spring taglib      JSPG0047E  Unable to locate tag library for uri   http   www springframework org tags at   com ibm ws jsp translator visitor tagfiledep TagFileDependencyVisitor visitCustomTagStart TagFileDependencyVisitor java 76          The way I had configured my EAR  all the jars were in the EAR  not in the WAR   s WEB-INF lib  According to the JSP 2 0 spec  I believe tag libs are searched for in all subdirectories of WEB-INF  hence the issue  My solution was to copy the tld files and place under  WEB-INF lib or  WEB-INF   Then it worked

I had the same issue with weblogic 12c and maven I initially while deploying from eclipse  kepler   deploying from the console gave no errors    The other solutions given on this page didn t help   I extracted the spring tld spring-form tld files of the spring-webmvc jar  which I found in my repository  in the web WEB-INF folder of my war module   I did a fresh build  deployed  from eclipse  into weblogic 12c  tested the application and the error was gone   I removed the spring tld spring-form tld files again and after deleting  rebuilding and redeploying the application the error didn t show up again   I double checked whether the files were gone in the war and they were indeed not present   hope this helps others with a similar issue
