JasperException: absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved [duplicate]

Answer 1

I used Tomcat6 37. As for me, I tried mentioned above solutions but still got the error. The problem solved after adding the jstl-1.2.jar to my %CATALINA_HOME%\lib directory.

Answer 2

You need to get the right version of JSTL, they use different URIs.

If that one's not working, try: http://download.java.net/maven/1/jstl/jars/jstl-1.2.jar (JSTL 1.2), or pull down the 1.1 JSTL jars.

There's a more detailed list of versions/URIs at coderanch.

Answer 3

you need to add Following jar file in your web application

jakarta-jstl-1.1.2.jar
and jakarta-standard-1.1.2.jar files

Recently I have same problem, that i have resolved by adding above two jar files

Answer 4

The answers here were useful to explain the problem but it did not help me diagnose why it was happening when I thought I was loading the right JSTL versions. Ultimately I had to debug the application and put a breakpoint in the TLD file processor (maybe org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.getTagLibraryInfos()) to see from where it was getting the TLD files.

I then discovered that it was loading old versions of the TLD files from a jar that I did not suspect had them -- it was a dependency of the GWT (ick) subsystem. Once the offending jar was removed from my maven dependencies, the problem was resolved.

Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
