[Question migrated from the Java Tools forum]
I'm using the Eclipse JEE IDE (Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)) on my Mac 10.11.3.
I have a taglibs.jsp file whose content is
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
My web.xml file contains the following snippet :
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<include-prelude>/WEB-INF/taglibs.jsp</include-prelude>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
But the directive is ignored : in another .jsp I have the following line
<p><c:out value="This is Sydney" /></p>
this is rendered as "null" in the browser; if however I add a line
<%@ include file="taglibs.jsp" %>
<p><c:out value="This is Sydney" /></p>
then it will render "This is Sydney" as expected.
Any help appreciated.
