Re: [jetty-users] Embedded Jetty 9 + JSTL = 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

blue182,

You've certainly done some delving :)

The list of jars you show don't look right to me - the jsp jars do not
appear to be the same as that from the jetty-9.2.2 distro in
lib/apache-jsp and lib/apache-jstl - make sure they're the same.

Also, you need to tell jetty which jars on the container's classpath
contain worthwhile stuff to look for - like tlds, annotations etc.
Both the standard distro and the jetty-maven-plugin set the context
attribute named
'org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern' to do
this. Here's what the etc/jetty-deploy.xml sets it to for the distro
(note that the jstl .tld files are inside the file
lib/apache-jstl/org.apache.taglibs.taglibs-standard-impl-1.2.1.jar):

 <Call name="setContextAttribute">
     <Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.ContainerIncludeJarPattern</Arg>
      <Arg>.*/[^/]*servlet-api-[^/]*\.jar$|.*/javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-.*\.jar$|.*/org.apache.taglibs.taglibs-standard-impl-.*\.jar$</Arg>
 </Call>

By default, this isn't set to anything, so in your embedded code, you
need to set it. Don't forget you'll need to escape the \ in java.

regards,
Jan
