Problem with Placing tlds out of WEB-INF

[Shelly Dhiman]

Hi:

I would really appreciate any help on this.

I want to get my tlds out of the WEB-inf directory and place all tlds in
the directory 'tld' that is 4 directories below WEB-inf. So i also
changed my web.xml so that taglib location for each tld was relative to
docroot
So if my docroot is /usr/local/test/fe/content/en_US and WEB-INF is
under this. I created a tld directory in /usr/local/test/fe/tld and put
all tlds in it.
And my web.xml 
        <taglib>
                <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts.tld</taglib-uri>            
<taglib-location>/../../tld/struts.tld</taglib-location>
        </taglib>

I'm getting the following error. Looks like its unable to locate
struts.jar. But if i craete tld directory within WEB-INF and have the
web.xml look like this it works
        <taglib>
                <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts.tld</taglib-uri>                           
 
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/struts.tld</taglib-location>
        </taglib>
