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
I am using JDK 1.7, Apache Tomcat 7.0.23 and I have placed JSTL core library(1.2) and STANDARD jar in WEB_INF lib folder it is not giving me any warning but when I will try to run the code
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<!-- Create Bean Instance-->
<jsp:useBean id="listdomain" class="bean.PopulateMultiDomain" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<jsp:setProperty property="*" name="listdomain"/>
<c:forEach var="item" items="${listdomain.status}">
<option>
<c:out value="${item}" />
</option>
</c:forEach>
it gives me the following error:

Can anyone suggest me what mistake I am making?
Solution 1:
Remove the standard.jar. It's apparently of old JSTL 1.0 version when the TLD URIs were without the /jsp path. With JSTL 1.2 as available here you don't need a standard.jar at all. Just the jstl-1.2.jar in /WEB-INF/lib is sufficient.

Solution 2:
I solved the same problem. I've just added JSTL-1.2.jar to /apache-tomcat-x.x.x/lib and set scope to provided in maven pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Solution 3:
Make sure you didn't skip all jars in
tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToSkip
in Tomcat catalina.properties.
Solution 4:
I have removed the scope and then used a maven update to solve this problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
**<!-- <scope>provided</scope> -->**
</dependency>
The jstl lib is not present in the tomcat lib folder.So we have to include it. I don't understand why we are told to keep both servlet-api and jstl's scope as provided.
Solution 5:
The error in question may also be caused by disabled JarScanner in tomcat/conf/context.xml.
See also Upgrade from Tomcat 8.0.39 to 8.0.41 results in 'failed to scan' errors.
<JarScanner scanManifest="false"/> allows to avoid both problems.
