Sun JSTL taglib declaration fails with “Can not find the tag library descriptor” [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you use Tomcat server I suggest you to put JSTL .jar file to the Tomcat lib folder. By doing this you will have an access to JSTL in all your web projects automatically (with taglib declaration in .jsp files of course).

Answer 2

I just want to share my experience. I have same problem about jstl using maven. I resolved it by adding two dependency.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.5</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>jstl</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>
