cannot load JSTL taglib within embedded Jetty server
- by fthompson
I am writing a web application that runs within an embedded Jetty instance.
When I attempt to execute a JSTL statement, I receive the following exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(1,63) PWC6188: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
I have the following jars on the classpath
ant-1.6.5.jar
ant-1.7.1.jar
ant-launcher-1.7.1.jar
core-3.1.1.jar
jetty-6.1.22.jar
jetty-util-6.1.22.jar
jsp-2.1-6.1.14.jar
jsp-api-2.1.jar
jstl-1.2.jar
servlet-api-2.5-20081211.jar
servlet-api-2.5-6.1.14.jar
standard-1.1.2.jar
My web.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee h77p://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
<display-name>test</display-name>
</web-app>
My code looks like this:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<%= new java.util.Date() %><br/>
${1+2}<br/>
<c:out var="${5+9}"/><br/>
</body>
</html>
I started my embedded Jetty server like this:
Server server = new Server(80);
WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext("pig-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war","/");
server.addHandler(context);
server.start();
I spent the past two days experimenting with various combinations of jar files, web.xml configurations, and tag library declarations, but to no avail.
How can I get an embedded Jetty server up and running with full JSTL support?
