any body please sugest me a way to solve this

Solution

web.xml is validated against an XML schema. This schema specifies that taglib can occur only when enclosed by a jsp-config tag.

Hence surround your taglib tag by a jsp-config tag

Please Refer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/webapp/web_xml.html#wp1071166

for further details.

Also taglib is no longer required to be declared in web.xml , please read http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/RemovingTaglibFromWeb.xml
