I was trying on a project and I tried to run the project on the Tomcat server from the Eclipse IDE. Due to some un-availability of the library the project deployed but while executing a jsp page it was giving the exception the jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application.
On investigating the issue I found that the error was due to un-availability of the jst library in the project.
Then I added the jstl library in the maven pom.xml and the problem was resolved.
Following entry was added to the pom.xml file:
<dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>jstl</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> </dependency>
Following video tutorial explains you the steps performed:
