Created attachment 26570 [details] Patch against current trunk to add a null check to TagFileProcessor When using VirtualDirContext, or the equivalent in the Web Tools Tomcat support, an expanded directory can be used in place of a jar file. In this case, tag files in the directory's META-INF folder will result in an NPE because the jarResource obtained from the TldLocation is null.
Many thanks for the patch. I have applied it to 7.0.x and it will be in 7.0.7 onwards.
