custom tags in JSP

Hello,

I am trying to create a simple custom tag and use it in my JSP script.
I am getting this error:
Unable to open taglibrary : Could not locate TLD META-INF/taglib.tld
I do, however, have talib.tld in the directory META-INF.
In its parent directory, I have the .jar file for the custom tag and the JSP script that is calling the tag.
I am guessing that there is a problem with the way my files & directories are structured. Could anyone tell me how this problem could be corrected?
