I'm afraid you misunderstood one important point about this. You can't avoid the "taglib" directive in your JSP. The only difference in the two strategies is what "uri" attribute you use in those taglib directives in your JSP. If you remove the taglib elements from your web.xml, then the JSP taglib directives just use the "uri" that is specified in the taglib TLD file (assuming the TLD is stored at the root of your taglib jar).
