JSP Taglib directive

Built-in jsp tags can be extended using tag libraries. Using the taglib directive you can declare, that you make use of a tag library. Additionally it is specified, which prefix is used to access the tag library.

Attributes

uri - absolute or relative url to a tag library.
prefix - prefix used to access tags in the library

Example of using a tag library:

<%@ taglib uri="http//www.me.com/mylibs" prefix="fantastic" %>
[..]
[..]
<!-- use taglib -->
<fantastic:doSomething>
[..]
[..]
