IntelliJ IDEA cannot resolve symbol "c:out" when using JSTL 3.0 - java

Sorry for my poor English.
I am learning jsp. But my Intellij IDEA cannot resolve symbol "c:out" when I write on a JSP page. I want to use JSTL 3.0.
I add <%# taglib prefix="c" uri="jakarta.tags.core" %> but it don't work.
I have dependencies in build.gradle:
implementation 'jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl:jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl-api:3.0.0'
implementation 'org.glassfish.web:jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl:3.0.0'
I try to use <%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> and it works well. But it is JSTL 1.2.
This is the jsp page.
<%# page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="jakarta.tags.core" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JSP in Springboot 3!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello <c:out value="${msg}"/></h1>
</body>
</html>
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2022.3.1. I think it is a bug in IDEA. But I'm not sure whether I did something wrong.

The new namespace introduced in JSTL 3 is not yet supported in the IDE. Feel free to upvote/comment for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-308542

JSTL configuration

I don't know what I've done incorrectly, but I can't include JSTL. I have jstl-1.2.zip, taglibs-standard-jstlel-1.2.5.zip in my WEB-INF/lib but unfortunately I get exception:
jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
I included also the taglib : <%#taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> in my JSP file. Please help me I couldn't find a solution for this problem, I just want to show hello world with the jstl technology so i can go and learn more about it.

Java (IntelliJ Idea) - import class fail

I have a jsp page that imports a class from another module and package.
<%# page language="java" import="login.UserLogin" %>
<%# page contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1251" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Page title
</title>
</head>
<body>
<%-- Form to initiate POST --%>
<FORM name="test_form" method="post">
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Make Post"><BR>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
I've corrected oll the dependances in IDE, but still get an error log:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.index_jsp
The imported class is empty, so there are no further dependances.
Your JSP's are internally compiled to a servlets called [your_jsp]_jsp.java and your IDE is saying that it cannot find that compiled class.
Your problem is that your project is not compiled / not deployed in the server. Or maybe you have not well configured the output directory... I don't know, I don't use intelliJ...
Found! Error in Tomcat deployment config - it referenced to source folder instead of artifact

File inclusion not working

The below code throws an error in Netbeans saying the include statement is not closed. I've tried a few things like #%> and I'm not able to figure out what's up. what am I doing wrong here?
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title><%=request.getAttribute("title")%></title>
</head>
<body>
<%#include file=request.getAttribute("template")%>
</body>
</html>
Try using <jsp:directive.include/>:
<jsp:directive.include file="<%= request.getAttribute("template") %>"/>
Depending on the contents of your template, <jsp:include/> may also work:
<jsp:include path="<%= request.getAttribute("template") %>"/>
The include directive works at compile time (translation time), the path listed in file should be relative to the web application.
The include directive is processed when the JSP page is translated
into a servlet class. The effect of the directive is to insert the
text contained in another file--either static content or another JSP
page--in the including JSP page
if you want to use something more flexible when used to include files jstl tag < c:import >
Using the jstl we can also include those contents or files
which are not a part of the current web application but lying
somewhere outside the web application

JSF Templating without RAD

I have a set of jsp's based off a jtpl template. The template (jtpl file) looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<%-- tpl:metadata --%>
<%-- jsf:codeBehind language="java" location="/JavaSource/pagecode/my.java" --%>
<%-- /jsf:codeBehind --%>
<%-- /tpl:metadata --%>
<%#taglib uri="http://www.ibm.com/jsf/html_extended" prefix="hx"%>
<%#taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<HTML>
<%#taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%#page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<f:view>
<HEAD> ...
Without using RAD, how can I change the jtpl (template) and regenerate jsp? I'm looking for a command line solution.
Related question: is the jsp intended to be rendered from the template design-time in the IDE, or runtime on the server?
Update
I tracked down the jar jsf-ibm.jar which contains com/ibm/faces/renderkit ... perhaps there's some way to render with this?
Well, the JTPL templating engine is available to you. You could write a command line app that does what you need it to do.

Jetty 7 hightide distribution, JSP and JSTL support

I've been struggling with Jetty 7 and its support for JSP and JSTL.
My JSP file:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" pageEncoding="utf-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<%#taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
</head>
<body>
<table id="data">
<tr class="columns">
<td>Hour</td>
<c:forEach var="campaign" items="${campaigns}">
<td>${campaign}</td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="hour" items="${results}">
<tr>
<td class="hour">${hour.key}</td>
<c:forEach var="campaign" items="${campaigns}">
<td>${hour[campaign]}</td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The JSP portions above work as expected. JSTL, however, does not. The campaigns and results variables are request attributes set by a servlet.
I get the following errors:
WARN: ... compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl: Unknown element (deferred-value) in attribute
WARN: ... compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl: Unknown element (deferred-value) in attribute
WARN: ... compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl: Unknown element (deferred-value) in attribute

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

With Jetty 8, the situation is a bit different, in case this helps anyone.
For JSTL 1.2, rather surprisingly, the taglib has to be:
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
with JSTL 1.2 from (mavenishly):
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
I can't really explain why the URL lacks 'jsp', but it works this way.
tsk... I don;t have privilege to comment. I am using Jetty 7.1.6 and answer provided by bmargulies works.
Basically, changing URI from
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
to
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
makes taglibs to work in Jetty 7.
-Nishant
The reason why http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core doesn't work is because the code in the Jasper Jsp parser used by Jetty (org.apache.jasper.glassfish:jar:2.2.2.xxx) assumes that that uri is a systemuri (see TldScanner.java) and it will not put any taglibs with this uri in its tablib location cache. I don't know why this assumption is in the code but it is. Seems to be a bug to me.
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext.getELContext()Ljavax/el/ELContext;
This exception basically means that the mentioned method cannot be found in the runtime classpath, while it was available in the compiletime classpath of either the class or one of its dependencies.
This method is introduced in JSP 2.1 which gets hand in hand with Servlet 2.5. Since Jetty 7 is supposed to support Servlet 2.5 and thus isn't the suspect here, the only cause can be that the web.xml is declared as Servlet 2.4 or lower instead of Servlet 2.5. So, to fix this particular problem, you need to declare your web.xml as at least Servlet 2.5. The <web-app> tag should look like this:
<web-app
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
id="YourWebAppID"
version="2.5">
If that doesn't solve the problem, then the other cause is that the /WEB-INF/lib or even worse the /JRE/lib or /JRE/lib/ext is cluttered with appserver-specific libraries containing an older Servlet API version. E.g. servlet-api.jar from Tomcat or j2ee.jar or javaee.jar from Glassfish, etcetera. You'll need to clean up those classpath folders from any libraries which doesn't belong there, because they get precedence in classloading and will override the appserver's own libraries. Appserver-specific libraries belongs to the appserver in question, not to the webapp or JRE.
That said and apart from the actual problem, the #page attributes language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" are all superfluous. The language already defaults to Java and the contentType already defaults to text/html and the charset will already be set to UTF-8 if you set pageEncoding="UTF-8". So the following is already sufficient:
<%#page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
Thx for the tip Steve! The bug seems still there, here's a workaround to run at Jetty initialisation. It did the trick for me.
import org.apache.jasper.runtime.TldScanner;
import java.util.Set;
Field field = TldScanner.class.getDeclaredField("systemUris");
field.setAccessible(true);
((Set<?>)field.get(null)).clear();
field.setAccessible(false);
