Maybe this helps. The required extensions for a tag file are .tag if you write the file in JSP syntax, and .tagx if the file is only composed of XML elements. The JSP 2.0 specification requires you to place the tag file in the WEB-INF/tags directory, or a subdirectory thereof. If you want to package the tag file in a Java Archive .jar file as part of a custom tag library, then you can store it in META-INF/tags (or a subdirectory of META-INF/tags), and then describe the tag file in a Tag Library Descriptor (TLD), a type of configuration file. You do not have to describe the tag files that are placed beneath WEB-INF/tags in a TLD, but you can, if you want to consolidate a library of traditional custom tags and tag files in one TLD.
