cannot load JSTL taglib within embedded Jetty server

Question

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:

Answer 1

• jstl-1.2.jar
• standard-1.1.2.jar

This collides. Remove the standard-1.1.2.jar. You should use standard-1.1.2.jar only with jstl-1.1.2.jar. Since JSTL 1.2 the standard JAR has been merged into JSTL JAR, resulting in a single jstl-1.2.jar file.
