[opencms-dev] Touchy web.xml file

[Claus Priisholm]

I've added the Formmail module to a site, and it seems to work nicely.  
As a part of the installation I've added the following lines to web.xml  
in the opencms app-directory (or rather kviksolgt application directory  
as I have relabeled it):

     <servlet>
         <servlet-name>FormMailServlet</servlet-name>
         <description>
             This servlet takes a form and sends the fields as email.
         </description>
          
<servlet-class>com.opencms.modules.formmail.JFormMail</servlet-class>
     </servlet>

     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>FormMailServlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/formmail</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

With that in the web.xml file I now and then get an error when  
publishing/exporting (or rather an error page gets exported instead of  
the intended page). The error reports as:
---
Root cause:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: This absolute uri  
(http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms) cannot be resolved in either  
web.xml or
the jar files deployed with this application at  
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHand 
ler.java:105)
---
Others have reported the same error on the list (after adding tags to  
the web.xml file, but not necessarily with the formmail tags as I did):

FormMail module: Please help:

Strange Error with Opencms Taglib:

Problem with taglib cms:  
http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2003q3/007006.html

And like me they seem to be able to fix the problem by removing  
'foreign' tags from the web.xml. I did not see follow-up on their  
mails, so anyone have any idea of what it causing this?

I'm on SuSE 8.2, Sun SDK 1.4.1-23, Tomcat 4.1.18, MySQL 4.0.15 and  
OpenCms 5.0.0 - Formmail module is 1.0
