java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config [duplicate]

Answer 1

Add jstl jar to your application classpath.

Answer 2

Just a quick comment: sometimes Maven does not copy the jstl-.jar to the WEB-INF folder even if the pom.xml has the entry for it.

I had to manually copy the JSTL jar to /WEB-INF/lib on the file system. That resolved the problem. The issue may be related to Maven war packaging plugin.
