Can not find the tag library descriptor of springframework

I know it's an old question, but the tag library http://www.springframework.org/tags is provided by spring-webmvc package. With Maven it can be added to the project with the following lines to be added in the pom.xml

<properties>    <spring.version>3.0.6.RELEASE</spring.version></properties><dependencies>    <dependency>        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>        <version>${spring.version}</version>    </dependency>

Without Maven, just add that jar to your classpath. In any case it's not necessary to refer the tld file directly, it will be automatically found.

1. Download the Spring dependency jar
2. Place it to the lib folder path is /WEB-INF/lib/spring.jar

3. Then open the web.xml and the sample code is:

   <taglib>  <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/spring.tld</taglib-uri>  <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/spring.tld</taglib-location></taglib>

4. Then the taglib is indicated where the jar file locates in ur system.

   <%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="/WEB-INF/spring.tld" %>

Removing the space between @ and taglib did the trick for me: <%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>
