Where the Container looks for Tag Files

The Container searches for tag files in four locations. A tag file MUST have a TLD if it’s deployed in a JAR, but if it’s put directly into the web app (in “WEB-INF/tags” or a sub-directory), it does not need a TLD.

  1. Directly inside WEB-INF/tags

  2. Inside a sub-directory of WEB-INF/tags

  3. Inside the META-INF/tags directory inside a JAR file that’s inside WEB-INF/lib

  4. Inside a sub-directory of META-INF/tags inside a JAR file that’s inside WEB-INF/lib

  5. IF the tag file is deployed in a JAR, there MUST be a TLD for the tag file.
