I used jstl in my jsp to pass parameter to my java program and get the output like this: ${sm:searcher_main(obj, obj.keyword)} and it worked fine. But I need to pass another parameters so that I changed it to : ${sm:searcher_main(obj, obj.keyword, obj.content)}. I also changed the code in my java program to accept two parameters. And I ve already changes it in my .tld file. But it doesn't work and I got the following error: type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Method "match" for function "searcher_main" not found in class "com.webIndex.wixUI.search.searcher_main" org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:51) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:409) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:181) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator$ValidateVisitor$1MapperELVisitor.visit(Validator.java:1635) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Function.accept(ELNode.java:129) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Nodes.visit(ELNode.java:200) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Visitor.visit(ELNode.java:242) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Root.accept(ELNode.java:56) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ELNode$Nodes.visit(ELNode.java:200) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator$ValidateVisitor.getFunctionMapper(Validator.java:1644) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator$ValidateVisitor.prepareExpression(Validator.java:1512) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator$ValidateVisitor.visit(Validator.java:724) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$ELExpression.accept(Node.java:940) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Nodes.visit(Node.java:2343) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Visitor.visitBody(Node.java:2393) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Visitor.visit(Node.java:2399) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Root.accept(Node.java:489) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Node$Nodes.visit(Node.java:2343) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Validator.validate(Validator.java:1737) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateJava(Compiler.java:165) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:314) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:294) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:281) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:566) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:317) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:337) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.16 logs.
