Hello I'm trying to do a website with Java EE on a glassfish server and Intellij IDE. I'm trying to have a bootstrap navbar with dropdown menu but the dropdown doesn't work.
There's my architecture :
And there is my code : 1) layout.tag
<%@tag description="Overall Page template" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@attribute name="title" fragment="true"%>
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<c:url value="/lib/bootstrap-3.3.7-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<c:url value="/lib/font-awesome-4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"/>"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<c:url value="/css/custom.css"/>"/>
<title>MyChild - <jsp:invoke fragment="title"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">

</body>
</html>
2) index.jsp
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="t" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<t:layout>
<jsp:attribute name="title">home</jsp:attribute>
<jsp:body>
<p>WELCOME</p>
</jsp:body>
</t:layout>
The bootstrap CSS work but the dropdown menu doesn't work. And if I click to 'source code' in firefox I can see all of the needed files (bootstrap.min.js etc) so the system know where the files are.
I saw that we must have a valid doctype and I can see when I click "source code" on firefox that I have 5 empty lines before tag. Maybe the problem is there ?
ps: It works with CDN.
