GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. build a simple web app to 
2. work around missing esapi.tld mentioned in other issues
3. use tags/el without installing a ESAPI.properties

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

tag libraries work. Massive exceptions thrown.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.0.1

Does this issue affect only a specified browser or set of browsers?

all

Please provide any additional information below.

Is a ESAPI.properties file required for the codecs to work? This didn't use to 
be the case.

I was able to overcome this issue by downloading esapi-2.0.1-configuration.zip 
and copying ESAPI.properties to src/main/resources in my webapp in addition to 
the steps provided in

It is surprisingly hard to staring using these taglibs in a basic scenario. 
Including a dependency in a POM should be enough.
