The leading slash will make it relative to the domain root.

However, if your webapp is not deployed on the domain root per se, but on a context path, such as /Open in your (oversimplified) example, and your JS file is actually located in

This will end up as (rightclick page in browser, do View Source to see it)

Update: as per your update, please note that this does not apply on TLD files since they are been resolved on the server side. Normally, you should drop TLD files in /WEB-INF folder and reference it by uri="/WEB-INF/filename.tld".
