It works differently in tomcat (to not say more conveniently), as  
tomcat takes any TLD that it finds in the lib directory.

it would be nice in JBoss AS to have a better way to add global TLD  
that do not require a patch of a file because we also have to keep the  
web.xml file in our JBoss patch directory. Would it be possible to  
have something that goes in that direction, like a deployment  
descriptor that would be found by JBoss deployers and we would only  
have to have the correct declaration in the JBoss patch directory.

you mean as a deploy time facility ?

as this jar contains code, maybe it would be best to copy the TLD in  
another jar file at deploy time that would have a constant name.
