Hi there,

I'm having some difficulty importing the JSP custom tag library in my JSP page. When I write:



An error comes up saying: "the absolute uri:<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application"

Does anybody know why this would happen? PS - this is the first time I'm trying to use JSTL in one of my projects..

Hi Dean,

you have to copy jstl.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder and then deployed again your portlet
sure It will work

Thanks,

Hello,

You should add the JSTL library to your project's Library. It will solve the porblem.
Do you use Eclipse or Netbeans?

I just searched my machine for any Jar files containing the word "jstl", found 2 with the name jstl-api.jar & jstl-impl.jar, created a folder under my WEB-INF called lib and just pasted it in there. Seems like the import statement works now since now error messages gets displayed.

I use Netbeans

Ok. In Netbeans you should do this:
In your project, right click Librarires and click add Library. From the new window select JSTL 1.1
I attach a picture for you. You may need to download JSTL if you dont have it.

Thanks Zsolt, Very easy and clear explanation. Really appreciate it

Actually it's better / easier to add the following entry to your liferay-plugin-package.properties file



unless you want your portlet to be portable across portlet containers that is
