Using taglib in jsp files throws 500 error

I have a requirement for using the taglib features so I can use their enhanced for loop. Unfortunately, adding a jsp taglib element like so:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

I'm getting this error information:

    HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
    org.apache.jsp.WEB_002dINF.views.home_jsp

type Exception report

message java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.WEB_002dINF.views.home_jsp

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

I am using IntelliJ IDEA, along with maven, tomcat, spring, and hibernate. Like I said, I have a requirement to use these taglib elements, and just need to figure out why they aren't allowed here. I'm not sure what other files you'll need to see, so please let me know.

As you are using Apache Tomcat, you need to provide these libraries yourself. There are general directions for this at Apache Tomcat - Apache Taglibs.

Adding the following dependencies to your build should get you going:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.taglibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>taglibs-standard-spec</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.taglibs</groupId>
  <artifactId>taglibs-standard-impl</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.5</version>
</dependency>
