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.

Remove the standard jar  It s apparently of old JSTL 1 0 version when the TLD URIs were without the  jsp path  With JSTL 1 2 as available here you don t need a standard jar at all  Just the jstl-1 2 jar in  WEB-INF lib is sufficient  See also   How to install JSTL  The absolute uri  http   java sun com jstl core cannot be resolved Our JSTL wiki page

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     lt dependency gt        lt groupId gt jstl lt  groupId gt        lt artifactId gt jstl lt  artifactId gt        lt version gt 1 2 lt  version gt        lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt    lt  dependency gt

I was facing the same issue  to solve it I have added the below entry in pom xml and performed a maven update    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt javax servlet lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jstl lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 2 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

This might be because of the transitive dependencies   Try to add  remove the scope from the JSTL library   This worked for me

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   39 failed to scan  39  errors    lt JarScanner scanManifest  false   gt  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

I have removed the scope and then used a maven update to solve this problem   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt javax servlet lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jstl lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 2 lt  version gt         lt  --  lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt  -- gt     lt  dependency gt   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
