I also use this    lt    taglib prefix  c  uri  http   java sun com jsp jstl core    gt    but I don t get any error   Did you include the jstl jar in your library  If not maybe this causing the problem  And also the  tld  folder do you have it  And how about your web xml did you map it   Have a look on the info about jstl for other information

I will throw one more solution into the mix  I downloaded a sample app and it was crimping only on this taglib  Turns out it didn t care for the single quotes around the attributes    lt    taglib prefix  c  uri  http   java sun com jsp jstl core    gt    Once I changed those and made sure jstl jar was in the web app  i was good to go

I know this thread is a year old now but having experienced the same problem I managed to solve the problem by setting a target server for my project   i e  right-click on your project and select  Properties  -   Targeted Runtimes  and select the server you going to run your web app on  Tomcat 6 or 7

Using the      standard jar   Resolves the problem

User · Answer

As  ace mentioned you will need the jstl jar in your project  so if you are using maven  you could add this dependency    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  dependency gt    Source  http   mvnrepository com artifact jstl jstl   Hope it helps   EDIT  Most of servers already have this dependency  if you add it using maven it may cause version conflicts  like Method ClassNotFoundException  if you don t configure the server well  so it s better set a target server for your project  as  willix mentioned

You are probably targeting a server without built-in JSTL support  e g  some version of Tomcat   You will need to provision your own JSTL tag library
