JSP CUSTOM TAG LIBRARIES

Using Domino JSP tags with a Web application server
The Domino JSP tag libraries are designed to let you build applications that can run on any J2EE-compliant Web application server.

To use the tags in a Web application:

1. Copy the domtags.jar file, which is located in the Notes/Data/domino/java directory, to the WEB-INF\lib directory for the Web application.

2. Copy the domtags.tld and domutil.tld files, which are also located in the Notes/Data/java directory, to the WEB-INF directory for the Web application.

3. In the web.xml file for your application, define the following tag library XML tags:

<taglib>

<taglib-uri>domtags.tld</taglib-uri>

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/domtags.tld</taglib-location>

</taglib>

<taglib>

<taglib-uri>domutil.tld</taglib-uri>

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/domutil.tld</taglib-location>

</taglib>

4. You can also use the web.xml file to set default values for the tags listed in the topic, "Setting default JSP Attribute values."

5. Add either of the following Domino Objects for Java JAR files to the classpath of the server hosting the Web application:

Notes.JAR -- Use if you are setting up the application for local access (Domino and the Web application server on the same machine.) This file is located in the \jvm\lib\ext subdirectory of the Notes directory. Note also that you must either disable the HTTP task or reassign its port number, since the default for both the HTTP and DIIOP tasks is port 8080. A Domino server does not have to be running for the Web application to be able to access the Domino data.

NCSO.JAR -- Use if you are setting up the application for remote (CORBA/DIIOP) access (Domino and the Web application server on different machines). This file is located in the Notes/Data/domino/java directory.

For details on running Domino with a WebSphere® Web server, see Using Domino JSP tags with WebSphere remotely.

Note With Release 6, do not use NCSOW.jar in the CLASSPATH when running remote (IIOP) calls in a WebSphere® environment. NCSOW.jar is no longer kitted as it was starting with Release 5.0.4; it continues to work with R5 servers, but should not be used with Release 6 servers. Use applications previously written to use NCSOW.jar with R5 servers only. NCSO.jar works with both R5 and Release 6 servers.

For more information on CORBA-based remote (IIOP) calls, see "Running a Java program" in the Java/CORBA Classes documentation.
