Re: [Ginp-developers] Latest changes - deployment problems

[Doug C. <do...@cu...>]

Sorry Brian but I have not finished the set up wizard and it does not
work.  Either we need to go back to the tapestry version from Justin or
Someone needs to finish it.

It would be great to update the manual because it was written by someone
that understands the GINP, not a user.  However the code needs to work
first.... Maybe your effort would be better served improving the code
then the manual.

Your error looks like the WebAp server can not load the taglib class. 
Check supported version of JSP and Servet specifications in web.xml and
ginp.tld and for your server. Also check for any start up errors on your
web server.

All the best,

Doug
