Subject:   Fix for Tomcat 4.x

If you're using Tomcat4.x, you will need to make the following two changes to get the multilink functionality working.


1. Modify your <taglib> element to include a <shortname> tag. The text of this tag can be arbitrary. So your taglib element will look like the following:



<taglib>

   <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion>

   <jspversion>1.1</jspversion>

   <shortname>something</shortname>

   ...

</taglib>


2. In MultiLinkTag.java, you will need to change EVAL_BODY_TAG to EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED. If the java file doesn't compile for you, place tomcat4.x\common\lib\servlet.jar first in your classpath.


That's it.
