自定义 JSP 标签错误：没有找到“taglib”的子翻译器

Question

So I am trying to work on a sample of creating a Custom tag to display current date. I did everything stated in the example, but on starting my server its throwing an error: did not find a Child Translator for "taglib". What needs to be fixed here?

Well I figured it out. Instead of doing a "static reference" to your custom tag in Deployment Descriptor, I tried referencing it dynamically from the JSP page itself and it worked.
