I'm pretty sure that Tomcat 3.1 doesn't support that the "uri" attribute
is the path to the JAR file. Try extracting the TLD from the JAR and
set the "uri" attribute to point to the TLD directly instead.
The spec was/is unclear about how to deal with references to a taglib JAR file,
but it's likely that it will be clarified to state that what you do should work.
But it will take some time before all containers implement this behavior.
