It seems to me that eclipse doesn t recognize the java ee web api  servlets  el  and so on   If you re using maven and don t want to configure eclipse with a specified server runtime  put the dependecy below in your web project pom    lt dependency gt         lt groupId gt javax lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt javaee-web-api lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 7 0 lt  version gt   lt  -- Put here the version of your Java EE app  in my case 7 0 -- gt       lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt   lt  dependency gt

As almost anyone said  adding a runtime service will solve the problem  But if there is no runtime services or there is something like Google App Engine which is not your favorite any how  click New button right down the Targeted Runtimes list and add a new runtime server environment  Then check it and click OK and let the compiler to compile your project again   Hope it helps

I guess this may work  in Eclipse select your project    then click on project menu bar on top   goto to properties   click on Targeted Runtimes   now you must select a check box next to the server you are using to run current project   click Apply   then click OK button  That s it  give a try
