Error description
JSPG0046E: Unable to locate tagfile <custom tag name> when using a custom tag with String[] as attribute type All these JSPs are using custom tags (files .tag located in WEB-INF/tags without TLD). These custom tags cannot be processed by WebSphere due to the error "JSPG0046E: Unable to locate tagfile".
Local fix
After changing the attribute type to "java.lang.Object", the problem does not occur anymore (but this workaround will require to rewrite all these tags in order to type cast the attributes !).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server Full and * * Liberty Profile version 8.5.5 users of * * JavaServer Pages (JSP). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A custom tag file which has an array * * as an attribute type will fail to * * compile. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If the expected type of a custom tag attribute is an array the following exception will occur: com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: JSPG0047E: Unable to locate tag library for uri /WEB-INF/tags at com.ibm.ws.jsp.translator.visitor.tagfiledep.TagFileDependencyVi sitor.visitCustomTagStart(TagFileDependencyVisitor.java:76) at com.ibm.ws.jsp.translator.visitor.JspVisitor.processJspElement(J spVisitor.java:366) at com.ibm.ws.jsp.translator.visitor.JspVisitor.processChildren(Jsp Visitor.java:419) An example of an attribute directive in a tag file which would cause the exception: <%@ attribute name="test" required="true" type="java.lang.String[]" %>
Problem conclusion
The JSP Container was modified to process the array definition properly. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.4. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
