Yikes! Why not use a context-relative path like:
<taglib-location>/lib/tld/customTagLibs.tld</taglib-location>
This assumes that "/lib" is in the root of your webapp. Perhaps all the
".."s are getting things confused.
I try never to use ".." in any path. Most paths starting with "/" are
guaranteed to be relative to the context root by either the servlet or
JSP specifications. This particular one is covered in section 1.2.1 of
the JSP 2.0 spec.

Aah, I think relative references are the problem here. The path is
relative to the JSP itself, so if you have JSPs are multiple levels, the
".."s will screw things up. If you are looking at /index.jsp, then the
tab library is expected to be in "[webapp root]/../../../lib/....."
which is almost certainly incorrect.

Oh, you need these files in catalina's lib directory? Why not deploy
them alongside your webapp (or each webapp that needs them)?
