Can not find the tag library descriptor for “http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core”
Use taglib definition in your JSP or better include it in every page by the first line.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
There's also fix jstl-1.2
dependency in your project. Also use servlet specification at least 2.4 in your web.xml
.
The maven dependencies are (maven is a open source development tool)
<dependency>
<groupId>jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>standard</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
In the web.xml
start writing
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
EDIT:
I'd like to add a note that @informatik01 has mentioned in the comment about newer version of JSTL libraries available from Maven repository: JSTL version 1.2.1 API and JSTL 1.2.1 .
I had the same problem even after I added jar files for jstl and standard. For me, it resolved after I added a Targeted runtime for my project.
Go to Project Properties > Targeted Runtimes and select the server you are using (Tomcat 7.0 for me).
create a libs folder in the inside WEB-INF directory and add jstl, standard jars as below.
