Facelets custom tag not working ?

Hi I have created a ticker example using custom tags :

web.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

When I view the page on the browser, the source code of ticker.xhtml is shown as :

                    Hello JSF Component

        </p>
    </body>
    
</html>
ticker.taglib.xml

                </component>    
	</tag>
</facelet-taglib>
It means that facelets is not recognizing the ticker tag . What is the issue ?
