tag library not found in jsp page - mystery

[ddog]

I'm having a big problem with jsp/tag libraries using oc4j. One
particular
tag library is not being 'found' for some mysterious reason. The
particulars follow:

kwTags.jar is the jar file containing the tag classes. It definitely
exists in WEB-INF/lib directory.

tld def. in web.xml:
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/kw</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/kwTagLib.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

The tld file definitely exists in the /WEB-INF/tlds directory.
The definition of the tag lib at the top of the kwTagLib.tld follows:
<taglib>
<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
<jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>
<short-name>kw</short-name>
<uri>/kw</uri>
<display-name>kwTagLib</display-name>
<small-icon></small-icon>
<large-icon></large-icon>
<description></description>

The tag reference in jsp page is:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/kwTagLib.tld" prefix="kw" %>

The development environment is Eclipse Workbench 5.1.0 and Eclipse
v.3.2.1
JDK is: j2sdk1.4.2_04

All other tag libs (Struts v.1.3.5) are found and work correctly. This
is the only tag library that
a problem.

multi-posting. People have already answered this question in clj.help under
the topic "tag library not found in jsp page - mystery". I have set the
followup to that group.
