ok. The servlet-definition should actually never change, so it's not a big 
issue if I have to define it once manually.

Ok, this is good news!

But what about the taglib-definition-file? This file might change more 
frequently...

Usually the .tld file should go to /WEB-INF/. I could of course put it in a 
web-accessible path (which would be in the vfs then), but I would prefer to 
avoid that :-)
