<taglib-location>

This element is used to declare the location of the JSP Custom Tag Library TLD file.

The location should be specified as a relative path from the application root.

For example:

<jsp-config> 
        <taglib> 
               <taglib-uri>mytags</taglib-uri> 
               <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/jsp/mytaglib.tld</taglib-location> 
        </taglib> 
</jsp-config>

The <taglib> section is no longer required in web.xml since JSP 2.0 / Servlets 2.4. See the article Removing taglib from web.xml for further details.
