There is a solution available but it is intended more for the embedded use case rather than a standard Tomcat install. Using it in a standard install would require (effectively) patching Tomcat. The general idea would be to use the TldPreScanned class. That does require all the TLDs to be listed in advance. On the plus side, no scanning delay. On the down side, adding TLDs requires code changes. Doing this with a standard Tomcat install requires changes to the JasperInitializer (hence the patch). I don't think there is a pure config way around that but I'll look into it. A better solution would probably be to make it easier to plugin in a custom TLDScanner - i.e. purely with config. If you'd like us to explore this option we should re-open 61052 and adjust accordingly. I don't think there is enough demand for filtering resource paths to make that worth implementing. One final thought. Are you running the web application from a WAR or an expanded directory? (The latter would be faster).
