I'm trying use Spring with Hibernate. View uses JSTL. When I open page in browser I see error:

This is part of my dependencies from pom.xml which connected with this:

<!-- Java EE -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.el</groupId>
    <artifactId>el-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Where is a problem? I am using tomcat version 6.

Add all the jars in WEB-INF/lib:

jsf-impl.jar
jsf-api.jar
jstl.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-chain.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-codec-1.6.jar

add then add it to the build path. It Works!

The exception is clear on what the problem is. I know that tomcat by default doesn't include jstl libraries. I see you have added the jstl to your dependency list so it should be part of your web-inf/lib. Make sure it is there.

  • I looked this answer:stackoverflow.com/a/5168057/81179, put jstl.jar to lib in tomcat direcotry and it is working now. But why I need put it there if I add dependency? – Hleb Jan 15 '12 at 18:19

    @Hleb - I believe the below dependency should take care of this. If not then you need to find what dependency need to be added javax.servlet jstl 1.2 – Aravind Yarram Jan 15 '12 at 18:22

The problem was in wrong servlet version in web.xml. I've made it 2.5 and all works.

If you do not put "provided", you force Maven to bring that dependency. Even so, your server should provide that library
