WebSphere Studio tag libraries

WebSphere Studio incorporates a set of custom tag libraries from the Jakarta project. The New Web Project wizard displays a list of tag libraries you can select to be incorporated when you create a new project. In addition, WebSphere Studio provides a tag library of JSP actions for database access. The actions conform to the JSP 1.1 syntax. WebSphere Studio also provides an Import JSP Tag Library wizard to allow you to import a JSP tag library for use in your projects.

After you create the project, a Web deployment descriptor shortcut is generated and placed directly beneath your project name. This shortcut serves as an alias for the web.xml file, and defines the library tag names and attributes available to your project. The tag library JAR files are placed in the WEB-INF/lib folder.

The Libraries folder contains a representation of the tag libraries available to your application. Empty JAR icons indicate tag libraries that are internal to your application (those that you selected in the New Project wizard). Full JAR icons indicate tag libraries that are external to your application (those that are not copied to your workspace).

The following tag libraries are also available in the WebSphere Studio Library view. For complete information on these and other Jakarta tag libraries, see Apache's The Jakarta Project.
