IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.4 with Tomcat 6: Unable to load class for JSP

I have a web application with following directory structure:

  my-app
    [...]
    resources
      login.jsp
    [...]
    web
      [...]
      WEB-INF
        web.xml

When I try to run the application on Tomcat6, I get following errors:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to load class for JSP
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.getServlet(JspServletWrapper.java:161)
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:340)

I read the answer to a similar question by BalusC, who suggested that this error might have been caused by a syntax error in the Java code inside login.jsp. But the file in question does not contain any Java code.

How can I fix this error?

Update 1: I found following message in the logs:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /login.jsp(6,0) The absolute uri: 
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the

I fixed the error by copying the jstl-1.2.jar file to the lib directory of Tomcat.
