I'm afraid you're wrong.
There are three spec compliant ways to identify the TLD for a tag
library, all through the uri attribute of the taglib directive in
the JSP file:
1) <%@ taglib uri="/path-to-TLD" prefix="foo" %>
The uri attribute value is the context-relative (i.e. interpreted
relative to the document root for the context/application) if it
starts with a slash, otherwise relative to the page that contains
the taglib directive. It's the path to the TLD file itself.
This should work with any JSP 1.1 container.
2) <%@ taglib uri="/path-to-taglib-JAR" prefix="foo" %>
The path is interpreted as in 1), but is the path to a JAR file
that contains the TLD in META-INF/taglib.tld, as well as all
class files for the library. This is a pretty recent clarification
of the JSP 1.1 spec, so some early container implementations may
not support it yet.
3) <%@ taglib uri="/symbolic-name" prefix="foo" %>
Here the uri attribute is just a unique name that's mapped to the
location by a <taglib> element in the web.xml file for the
application:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/symbolic-name</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/path-to-TLD-orJAR-as-above</taglib-location>
</taglib>
Note that in 3), the "/symbolic-name" string used in the JSP page
and in the web.xml must match exactly, including case, leading slash,
etc., and that the <taglib-location> value should always start with
a slash and is interpreted as a context-relative path, e.g.
"<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/mytags.tld</taglib-location>"
