This error is coming from the XML parser when reading your web.xml file. It means that you have your elements out of order. The required order is listed after the "must match" part (i.e. <icon> must be first if it is present, then <display-name>, and so on).
You didn't show your entire web.xml, but you definitely cannot put <taglib> directives ahead of things like <servlet> or <servlet-mapping>.
