Actually, step 3. is unnecessary. When you create the JAR file for your handler, the TLD file goes inside it. It's already got the URI string you should use in your JSP. When the JSP compiler goes looking for your TLD, it'll find it in the JAR because it's already in the CLASSPATH.
That's the way I always do it with JSTL. I like it, because it doesn't violate the DRY principle. Why have the URI in the TLD and the WAR file? Don't Repeat Yourself.
