Tag Files Help

Question

I am trying to write and use a simple .tag file, but I am getting an error. I am using Weblogic 8.1, which is a JSP 2.0 container, so it should work.
In the WEB-INF/tags directory of my web app I have a tag called firstTag.tag, with code as shown below:
<%@tag import="java.util.Date" import="java.text.DateFormat"%>
<%
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
Date now = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
out.println("The date is: " + dateFormat.format(now));
%>
I have a JSP page where I want to use the tag shown above. The code in my JSP is:
<%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="h" %>
<easy:firstTag/>
When I call this JSP page I get a JspException saying that "No URI for Taglib "...?? What do I need to do to get this working properly?

I have a JSP page where I want to use the tag shown
above. The code in my JSP is:
<%@ taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="h" %>
<easy:firstTag/>Is this just a typo? Did you try:
<h:firstTag/>
(ie, use the prefix you defined a tagdir for)
