Stan Silvert commented on JBAS-1602:
------------------------------------

The problem is with the way that Jasper is trying to locate TLD's.  If you look 
at EmbeddedServletOptions.java, you can see that somebody meant for the 
TldLocationsCache to be pluggable.  If it were we could easily write our own 
and pass the class name into the JspServlet as an option.

Can we make this change to Tomcat/Jasper so that we can write our own 
TldLocationsCache?
