Actually, according to the JSP spec, JSTL and JSF are the only taglibs that
a Java EE compliant container must consider from a shared location in an
application's
classloader delegation chain.
According to JSP.7.3.2 ("TLD resource path"):
1. If the container is Java EE platform compliant, the Map Entries for
the tag libraries that are part of the Java EE platform. This currently
includes the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library libraries and the
JavaServer Faces libraries.
2. Taglib Map in web.xml
3. Implicit Map Entries from TLDs
- TLDs in JAR files in WEB-INF/lib
- TLDs under WEB-INF
4. Implicit Map Entries from the Container
Considering any additional taglibs from JAR files in a shared location
would be a
container-specific extension, and apps that depend on it may not be
portable.
