This element specifies a resource identifier for a JSP Custom Tag Library. It is used inside a <taglib> element.
The identifier can be anything you like. It's sole purpose is to provide a unique reference for the taglib, so that you can use it in the <@ tablib %> declaration in a JSP file.
Some developers use full URIs such as http://www.mysite.com/taglibs/mytaglib. Other developers, including the Struts team use simpler URIs such as tags-html or tags-logic. This simpler version is known as the short name for the uri convention, and protects against outages of the website specified in the URI.
With this declaration in web.xml ...
<jsp-config> <taglib> <taglib-uri>metawerx-networking</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/jsp/metawerx-networking.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> </jsp-config>
... the following declaration can be used in your JSP file to use the tag library:
<%@ taglib prefix="mn" uri="metawerx-networking" %> <mn:sometag>Test</mn:sometag> <mn:othertag />
