Dreamweaver + JSP

April 13th, 2003 by Hen

Thought I’d try and use DW to do some JSP at work today. It’s relatively nice, but I’ve slammed into two problems. One is just a pain, while the other is a major blocker.

i) First off, after loading in my taglib via the TLD file, DW does not seem to record the taglib directive for that taglib. I’m assuming this because I cannot see it anywhere afterwards, and more importantly, when I start to use a custom JSP tag, I’m not getting the directive which imports the tag.

ii) This is the major blocker though. DW doesn’t seem to accept that my imported JSP [JSTL in this case] is case sensitive. It loads ‘forEach’ in properly but then wants me to output this as either FOREACH or foreach, neither of which will work.

If anyone has a clue about these, I’d love to get it fixed.

    while building jsp using dreamweaver why does it prefix MM for all the functions. please let me know.

    I was using the import-tld feature. DW isn’t very good at it yet as I point out.

    It prefixes functions with MM as that stands for ‘MacroMedia’ and I suspect they do it to avoid name-clashing with any other function you might have.

    There is an option for the case of the tags. You have to set mixed one by one, but it works
