I am building MVC CRUD application. In JSP file I got this error

The tag handler class for "fmt:message"
     (org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.fmt.MessageTag)
         was not found on the Java Build Path

Here is my JSP file at the line “fmt:message”

<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jsp/include.jsp" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

<html>
<head>
  <title><fmt:message key="title"/></title>
  <style>
    .error { color: blue; }
  </style>  
</head>

<body>
<h1><fmt:message key="addprod.heading"/></h1>
<form:form method="post" commandName="addprod">
  <table width="95%" bgcolor="f8f8ff" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
      <tr>
      <td align="right" width="20%">Add a new Product: (Please enter ID for the new product) </td>
        <td width="20%">
          <form:input path="productID"/>
        </td>

        <td width="60%">
          <form:errors path="productID" cssClass="error"/>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="right" width="20%">Add a new Product: (Please enter name for the new product) </td>
        <td width="20%">
          <form:input path="productname"/>
        </td>

        <td width="60%">
          <form:errors path="productname" cssClass="error"/>
        </td>
    </tr>
        <tr>
      <td align="right" width="20%">Add Price: (Specify price in number) </td>
        <td width="20%">
          <form:input path="productprice"/>
        </td>

        <td width="60%">
          <form:errors path="productprice" cssClass="error"/>
        </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <br>
  <input type="submit" align="center" value="Add">
</form:form>
<a href="<c:url value="hello.htm"/>">Home</a>

    I see two potential problems.

    1. Regarding the specific error you’re seeing, you need to ensure
      the appropriate tag library is on your build path. In Eclipse,
      right-click your project and select “Properties”. In the dialog that
      pops up, select “Java Build Path”. The window should display tabs
      representing the various kinds of libraries you can add to your
      project. One of those tabs should list the “JSTL” library–my
      projects, for instance, use jstl-1.2.jar. If you don’t see it in
      any of the libraries on your build path, you may need to add it
      manually by copying it to your project’s external library folder and
      adding the JAR manually to your build path.

      See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_add_an_extra_library_to_my_project%27s_classpath%3F for more info.

    2. After you add the library to your build path, you still have to
      make sure that the tags it contains are available to your specific
      JSP. In your example, you have:

      <%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

      That allows you to use Spring’s form tag library in your current JSP. I do not see a similar declaration for the fmt library, which I would expect to look something like:

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

      It’s possible that you’ve got that in your include.jsp file; if so you should be fine.

    Hope this helps.
