Question

Like in the article , I have placed the following files in WEB-INF/lib folder of my applicaion

• Standard.jar (1.1.2)
• jstl.jar (1.1.2)

in taglib it states that it would resolve uri tag in the TLD of a taglib deployed in a jar file (WEB-INF/lib).

And my application keep throwing errors that it cannot found any tag libs.

When I extracted the Standard.jar\MET-INF *.tld files under to WEB-INF\tld folder, It worked and sorted. But still is there a cleaner way I could do it, So I may not need to update that taglibs separately other than replacing it with the new version?

Exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: 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

You probably don’t have them in your build path. Placing them in libs folder may not be sufficient.
In Eclipse for example: right click on project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path …
Then in Libraries tab add your jars using Add External JARs button.
