I use JSP and there are taglibs used.But you can cut the scan time way down by
not scanning any libraries that don't have TLDs (nested files with name =>
.tld)You can find this by using "jar t" or "unzip -l" on each library (thanks
Chris).
If you are a Unix (Linux or MAC) user you may cheat a little by using the
script attached.You may put any all .jar files in .../apache/lib or
.../apache/webapps/*/WEB-INF/lib into the
.../apache/conf/catalina.properties file if they do not have taglibs.So 90%
of what I need does not have taglibs (just jstl-impl-...jar DOES and must be
left out of the DO NO SCAN line.This took my startup time from a couple minutes
to under a second.
Best of luck.

If you need taglibs, you'll need to do TLS scanning. There really is
no way to avoid that that I know of. One of many reasons I don't like
JSP as a technology.
If you are having a problem with downtime, you have other options that
might help in other areas. For example, you could set up a second
server and load-balance between the two of them. This protects you
from a number of downtime-causing issues such as power failures, JVM
crashes, and -- as in your example here -- planned maintenance.
Running a single instance of your application in a production
environment where uptime matters is really not an appropriate
solution. If you had two servers, your application's restart time
would not have been an issue.
