spring - http://www.springsource.org/tags/form 404 error

Question

Currently, I use a Maven project. I don't have any Tomcat server. I use the local google appengine server to test my application.

I would like to use the spring tags, especially the 'form' tags.

On a forum(http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/web/74017-the-absolute-uri-http-www-springframework-org-tags-form-cannot-be-resolved), I heard that I had to copy the spring-form.tld file from the spring-webmvc-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF. It's done.

But when I launch the appengine server and I go to this url : http://www.springsource.org/tags/form , I've a 404 error.

What does it happen ?

Do you have any solutions ?

Thank you

Answer 1

404 means that the specific path you are trying to access does not exist. So either it did not deploy properly or it is not stored where you think it is

Answer 2

Add the spring-webmvc-3.1.x.RELEASE.jar to your application (lib folder), thats all you need.

In your jsp use: http://www.springframework.org/tags/form

The tld file itselfe is located inside spring-webmvc-3.1.x.RELEASE.jar : \META-INF\spring-form.tld
