Brian, the most "portable" way to do this would be to create your own .tld file, then add it to the META-INF directory inside the JAR file that contains your custom tags, for example using the Ant <metainf> target.
Then, in your JSPs, just make sure you import your tag library by the URI defined in your .tld file. So in your .tld file you'd have a declaration like this... <taglib> ... <uri>http://www.pingtoo.com/brian.tld</uri> ...and the import would look like this: <%@ taglib uri="http://www.pingtoo.com/brian.tld"; prefix="b" %> This is definitely the best way, because you won't have to hack up the jspwiki.tld file, and it keeps your .tld with your custom classes.
