Adding a Tag Library From the Repository

See Also

The Custom Tag Library Repository lists all available tag libraries. When you add a tag library to a web module, the web module's deployment descriptor is automatically updated to include an entry for the tag library. This entry maps the tag library to a URI that your JSP pages can use to gain access to the tags.

A tag library within a web module resides in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

To add a tag library to a web module from the repository:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the WEB-INF node for the relevant web module.
  2. From the contextual menu, choose Add JSP Tag Library and choose Find in Tag Library Repository.
  3. In the JSP Tag Library Repository Browser dialog box, select one or more tag libraries.
  4. Click OK.
tip Note that when you add a tag library to a web module from the repository, or add a tag library to the repository, the system copies the tag library and leaves the original version intact. In this situation, you might have multiple copies of a tag library stored in various locations. Also note that the tag library is mounted within the Filesystems tab if it isn't already mounted.
