| <div><p>Having the proper files defined in the Java build class path is essential for |
| content assist to work properly in JSP files. It is also essential for the |
| links builder to be able to correctly resolve links to servlets or Java beans |
| in JSP and HTML files.</p><div class="skipspace">To make content assist work for JSP files:</div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>To determine whether the build path is correct, select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> from |
| the project's pop-up menu. </span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select <span class="uicontrol">Java Build Path</span>, and then the <span class="uicontrol">Libraries</span> page. </span> You should see the following files:<ul><li>j2ee.jar</li> |
| <li>rt.jar </li> |
| <li>servlet.jar</li> |
| <li>webcontainer.jar</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>If they are not present, add them as External JAR files. You may |
| have your own versions of these files, depending on the level of JDK or Servlet |
| API for which you are developing.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>If your Web applications reference other JARs, you can place them |
| in the build path as follows:</span><ol type="a"><li><span>Use the <span class="uicontrol">Add JARs</span> button on the Library |
| page. You must ensure that the JAR file is available to the server by properly |
| configuring the server.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Add the JARs to the <span class="filepath">WEB-INF/lib</span> directory. |
| They will be automatically added to the build path and deployed to the server |
| in as part of the project WAR.</span></li> |
