About Question enthuware.jwpv6.2.1197 :

[jmkenny]

I have 2 questions regarding this question.

1-What is the "id" attribute in the third answer?

2-Why is the last answer false (because of the author attribute ?) ?

[admin]

The id element is not really used for any practical purpose. My guess is that it there to identify the element in the xml file. Specification does not explain its purpose and none of the examples given in the specification use this attribute either.

Similar to jwpv6.2.1053 :

The explanation:"Note that the mapping information contained within the tld file will always be loaded by the container. The <taglib> tag in web.xml is used to provide any additional taglib-uri mappings. And for those additional mappings, you will need to specify the taglib-location.".

But in HFSJ p485, it says,"when the Container begins to build the <uri>-to-TLD map, the Container will look first in your DD to see if you've made any <taglib> entries, and if you have, it'll use those to help construct the map.".

Can't comment on what is written in a book. We go by the specification.

In jwpv6.2.1053 post, you seemed to agree with what the HFSJ book said and made the change. Shouldn't it be consistent here too?

If the book matches with the spec then yes.

Hi.
As you said:

"Specification does not explain its purpose and none of the examples given in the specification use this attribute either"

Should I care for this attribute for the exam, then? Probably won't be any questions on it, right?
I know, I know, it is good to know. But, does it make sense to say it most likely won't be in the exam at all?

[admin]

Yes, it may not be that important for the exam. But I wouldn't say it will not be on the exam because it is part of the exam objectives.

HTH,
Paul.
