Hi, I tried my best for the solution but in vain. With my first JSTL <c:forEach> project I am getting the following error

type Exception report

message The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

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

exception

This is web.xml

This is my servlet class

This is JSP class

I am using Tomcat 7, which has Servlet 3.0 and JSP 2.2. Also I have added jstl-1.2jar to the project build path. I have also attached my project directory snap.

Hi Jay, welcome to CodeRanch!

The JSTL jar needs to be inside the WEB-INF/lib folder. When you do that and refresh your project, I think Eclipse will automatically add it to your Web App Libraries.
