"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/
web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
<!-- a tag library descriptor -->

I think the problem is that the taglib description file cannot be validated. You
set the dtd like this
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//
DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/
web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
so i think when you test your jsp you have no
internet connection. Try to download the DTD and
to store it in your xml path then it should work
Hope this helps

error arises if the following lines were cut as follows:
------
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/
web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//
DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
------
Take note that of the item in between double quotes.
You could straighten these just like in the ff lines:
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
Also, it is better to put your tag handler class in a package dir. If it is not,
sometimes it works, sometimes not. Based on error messages appearing when not working,
the servlet engine assumes that the tag handler class (not in a package dir)
is inside the org.apache package.
And, a minor suggestion. For better identification, your TLD file is better placed in
a dir called something like 'tld' not 'jsp'. A dir called 'jsp' is usually for containing jsp files.
with the corrections in place, and your tag handler class in order,
your jsp should work.
hope this helps.
