Can not find the ta

Answer 1

I had the same issue with weblogic 12c and maven I initially while deploying from eclipse (kepler) (deploying from the console gave no errors).

The other solutions given on this page didn't help.

I extracted the spring.tld spring-form.tld files of the spring-webmvc jar (which I found in my repository) in the web\WEB-INF folder of my war module;

I did a fresh build; deployed (from eclipse) into weblogic 12c, tested the application and the error was gone;

I removed the spring.tld spring-form.tld files again and after deleting; rebuilding and redeploying the application the error didn't show up again.

I double checked whether the files were gone in the war and they were indeed not present.

hope this helps others with a similar issue...
