I have a web application which works fine if i just deploy it on to the deploy folder of either Tomcat or Jboss. What i am trying to do now is to embed this application on to a Jetty container. I cant seem to get it to work as it is spitting out errors related to the JSTL tag library. Here is the error that is shown:
Problem accessing /Web/app/localTimestamp. Reason:
/WEB-INF/views/localTimestamp.jsp(1,62) PWC6188: 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
Caused by:

I dont understand why it is not able to pick up the jstl jar file. Here are the jar files in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the web application

I think the error is probably due to a conflict in the jar files. I have tried the following with no success
- Rebuilt the war file without the jstl dependency
- Rebuilt the Jetty Starter app without the jstl dependency.
- Rebuilt both without the jstl dependencies
I am now stuck as i dont know how else to test. Here are the relevant code snippets. Here is the Maven pom file for the Jetty starter application. One big problem i found is that it is very difficult to really know which dependencies are required to get this to work. search.maven.com seem to not have all the jar files required by the org.eclipse.* dependencies.

Edit
Here is the JSP page in question
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html

And the web app version shown in the web.xml file
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
The application does work if i deploy the war file directly onto the Tomcat or Jboss deployment folder. It is only a problem when embedded with Jetty.
