JSPG0047E: Unable to locate tag library for uri http://www.ibm.com/jsf/html_extended

Question

Getting the error mentioned in the title when trying to access the application which is deployed on the WAS 8.5.5.16 on Linux machine . How ever same application(ear) when deployed on the local(windows) machine is working fine:This is the top section of the page :

<%-- jsf:pagecode language="java" location="/JavaSource/pagecode/Welcome.java" --%><%-- /jsf:pagecode --%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://www.ibm.com/jsf/html_extended" prefix="hx"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>
<%@page import="java.net.URLEncoder"; %><html lang="<%= URLEncoder.encode(request.getLocale().getLanguage(),"UTF-8") %>">
<HEAD>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<META name="GENERATOR" content="IBM Software Development Platform">

And If I remove the line <%@taglib uri="http://www.ibm.com/jsf/html_extended" prefix="hx"%>,Page loads but with login button missing .Need to understand what jar contains this reference which I guess its unable to find . I am pasting the section of the logs below . NOt sure what the problem is

Apparently server at localhost is not the same as one in production. Align out that first. — BalusC, Sep 10 '20 at 17:47
What libraries are associated with the app on Linux? Are there any application, library, or server config differences between the working and non working environments? — wtlucy, Sep 11 '20 at 15:44

That namespace is used by the old IBM JavaServer Faces widget library (JWL) library. You need to provide the correct version of jsf-ibm.jar, which should be located in ${WAS_HOME}\optionalLibraries\IBM\jwl\2.0. For more information see WebSphere JWL Documentation and Resolving JSF Widget Library problems in JSF applications

thank you @wtlucy . Tried this and now getting this error : Error Message: java.lang.StackOverflowError Error Code: 500 Target Servlet: Error Stack: java.lang.StackOverflowError at com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.logging.WebContainerLogger.isLoggable(WebContainerLogger.java:193) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletRequest.getAttribute(SRTServletRequest.java:392) at javax.servlet.ServletRequestWrapper.getAttribute(ServletRequestWrapper.java:85) at – boyhenryalpha Sep 11 '20 at 11:50
@boyhenryalpha I think you might want to create a separate question for that error - with the full stack for the exception - since I'm not sure if it's directly related. If my answer resolved the `JSPG0047E` you originally asked about then please mark it as accepted. – wtlucy Sep 11 '20 at 12:37
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/executing-jsf-application-websphere-application-server-results-javalangoutofmemory-error Do you think this is the reason why I am getting this error now ? As you suggested i swapped the jsf-ibm-3.1.15 in my WEB-INF/lib folder with jsf-ibm.jar from optionalLibraries\IBM\jwl\2.0 – boyhenryalpha Sep 11 '20 at 13:09
Sorry, I had assumed that you didn't have a JWL library bundled in your app at all! The doc page you've linked to is likely for a different problem, but if you were previously using a newer version of jsf-ibm in your app when you originally opened the issue then I'm not sure why you had issues loading the `hx` tags! I've updated the answer with an additional doc link. – wtlucy Sep 11 '20 at 13:33
so back to square 1 then :) – boyhenryalpha Sep 11 '20 at 13:39
