JSP Tag Files in subdirectories, using a single taglib prefix. Is that possible?

Question

I currently have my .tag files declared with:

<%@taglib prefix=\"t\" tagdir=\"/WEB-INF/tags\" %>

Example of the path of a tag file :

A pattern that I follow, even though doesn't address the OP's problem directly, I find it makes the whole situation a lot less painful, which is creating a JSP Fragment where I define all taglibs:

/WEB-INF/views/taglibs.jspf

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>

<%@ taglib prefix="layout" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/layout" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t_users" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/users" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t_widgetsA" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/widgetsA" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t_widgetsB" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/widgetsB" %>

And then include this JSP Fragment at the top of every JSP file:

/WEB-INF/views/users/employeeProfile.jsp

<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/views/taglibs.jspf" %>


    
Employee Profile
    ...
