JDBC and Custom Tag

[Eimo]

Hi,
I'm creating a tag library descriptor for the custom tag and test the custom tag in JSP page.
My question is: I have three files, .java, .tld, and .jsp.... I'm not sure where to place them and how to deploy my program???
I opened a terminal and setup tomcat and created a table with information but I'm not sure how to show the information on the .jsp file. I've done the coding but if someone tell me how to execute it?

Please advice.....

IAccording to the error I have a problem in Tags.tld file... Here is the content:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">

<teiclass>taglibrary.DataAccess</teiclass>
<bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>
<info>Get Data From the Books Database Database.</info>
</tag>
</taglib>

Is there anything wrong in my file??? if yes..how should I fix it??

Thank you

try

<tagclass>taglibrary.GetDataTag</tagclass>

instead of

<tag-class>taglibrary.GetDataTag</tag-class>

TIP:
while creating tags for this file, your IDE (e.g. Eclipse) can help you - just use mouse over some element (like <tag>) and yellow pop-up will show up with useful info like :

<Tag >

Content Model : (name, tagclass, teiclass?, bodycontent?,
info?, attribute*)

So this explains what elements you must have, and when you place them in you file, use mouse over again to show you what is expected within element like ...[0.9] number ...

Or you can download file:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd

put it in your project,
and create your tag files from it using wizards in your IDE.
(create XML file form DTD file)

this way you may have more clear picture of what is it that you must conform to while creating your tld
