Configuring JSP Tag Libraries - Cont

1. A tag library has a path to the JSP Tag Library Descriptor (TLD) file (<taglib-location>) and a URI that JSPs use to select the library for loading (<taglib-uri>). This URI pattern must match the value in the taglib directive in your JSP pages.

   • This TLD must be made available to the Web Application containing the JSP by defining it in the Web Application deployment descriptor
     • It is a good idea to place the TLD file in the WEB-INF directory of your Web Application, because that directory is never available publicly.
