Well, I extracted the TLD file from the JAR the contains my tag library, and

I guess the code that looks for the TLD is not correctly handling JARs.
The JSP specifiecation (JSP.7.3.2) says: "The TLD resource path ... should
relolve to a TLD file directly, OR TO A JAR FILE [emphisis mine] that has a
TLD file at location META-INF/taglib.tld." It seems that the latter does not
work well in Tomcat 4.0.2.
