Peter,
as far as I know, your entry in web.xml should be like this:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>mytaglib.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/mytaglib.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
Without the leading /WEB-INF/ in the taglib-uri tag.
The RightWay(tm) to do it, is described in
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/errata_1_1_a_042800.html
ciao,
