I am using JDK 1.7, Apache Tomcat 7.0.23 and I have placed JSTL core library(1.2) and STANDARD jar in WEB_INF lib folder it is not giving me any warning but when I will try to run the code
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<!-- Create Bean Instance-->
<jsp:useBean id="listdomain" class="bean.PopulateMultiDomain" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:setProperty property="*" name="listdomain"/>
<c:forEach var="item" items="${listdomain.status}">
<option>
<c:out value="${item}" />
</option>
</c:forEach>
it gives me the following error:

Can anyone suggest me what mistake I am making?
This question is related to
apache
jakarta-ee
jstl
tomcat7
The answer is
I was facing the same issue, to solve it I have added the below entry in pom.xml and performed a maven update.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
I have removed the scope and then used a maven update to solve this problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
**<!-- <scope>provided</scope> -->**
</dependency>
The jstl lib is not present in the tomcat lib folder.So we have to include it. I don't understand why we are told to keep both servlet-api and jstl's scope as provided.
This might be because of the transitive dependencies.
Try to add/ remove the scope from the JSTL library.
This worked for me!
Make sure you didn't skip all jars in
tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToSkip
in Tomcat catalina.properties.
I solved the same problem. I've just added JSTL-1.2.jar to /apache-tomcat-x.x.x/lib and set scope to provided in maven pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
The error in question may also be caused by disabled JarScanner in tomcat/conf/context.xml.
See also Upgrade from Tomcat 8.0.39 to 8.0.41 results in 'failed to scan' errors.
<JarScanner scanManifest="false"/> allows to avoid both problems.
If you are using eclipse and maven for handling dependencies, you may need to take these extra steps to make sure eclipse copies the dependencies properly Maven dependencies not visible in WEB-INF/lib (namely the Deployment Assembly for Dynamic web application)
if you use spring boot check in application.propertiese this property is commented or remove it if exist.
server.tomcat.additional-tld-skip-patterns=*.jar
If you are using maven project then you just need to add the jstl-1.2 jar in your dependency. If you are simply adding the jar to your project then it's possible that jar file is not added in your project project artifact. You simply need to add the jar file in WEB-INF/lib file.
This is how your project should look when jstl is not added to the artifact. Just hit the fix button and intellij will add the jar file in the above mentioned path. Run the project and bang.
