Unable to load tag handler class

[indika prasad kularathne]

Hai all..
i tried to create customer login page using custom tag. my folder structure is as follows.
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/loign.jsp
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/validate.jsp
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/successfull.jsp
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/retry.jsp
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/WEB-INF/checkUser.tld
c:/tomcat5.0/Login/WEB-INF/ind/pra/ire/Validate.class and ForceLogin.class

validate and ForceLogin is for check user name and passward.it successfully compiled.
Hear is my validate.jsp file.

<%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/checkUser.tld" prefix="val" %>
<% String username = request.getParameter("username");%>
<% String pwd = request.getParameter("pwd");%>
<val:validate username ="<%=username%>"
password = "<%=pwd%>"
securePage ="successfull.jsp"/>

Hear is my checkUser.tld file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
