Thanks for the input and ideas. The servlet approach seems to have potential but I think because our company will be the only users of the taglib I'm going to force the user of the lib to paste a special taglib folder into the context.
i.e, {context}/WEB-INF/classes/taglib ?
Then in your servlets you can access them using Class.getResource(string), Class.getResourceAsStream(string) where string is something like "/taglib/car.gif".
Instead of forcing the user to past the taglib folder, if you use Ant or Maven to build the web application, a "deploy" target/task can do that for you.
It would be really cool if there was a standard that made it possible for a taglib author to specify a folder in the jar that they want to make available off the context but I could see how it would create some security concerns.
