actually, the problem in my case was due to .tld file in jakarta jsp 1.1 taglibs. Once 
I removed the .tld files from the jar, jspc was able to compile with -webapp option 
just fine.
My guess is there is a bug with respect to how jasper compiler handles taglib tld 
files. For some reason, if there's a .tld file in /mywebapp/WEB-INF/ and the jar file, 
it tries to use the one in the jar.
since the web.xml points to the one in /WEB-INF/, it causes a conflict, which results 
in NPE.

Not sure if you're running into the same problem, but here's a thread
that didn't get much of a reaction. I haven't filed a bug on this
(yet?):
