回答1:

Adding the tomcat server in the server runtime will do the job :

Project Properties-> Java Build Path-> Add Library -> Select "Server Runtime" from the list-> Next->Select "Apache Tomcat"-> Finish

回答2:

Adding below dependency in pom.xml, worked for me.

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>

回答3:

I too received the same error as quoted below:

The superclass “javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet” was not found on the Java Build Path.

I followed these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Right Click on Project
2. Select Properties
3. Select Project Facets
4. Select Apache Tomcat as Runtime server
5. Click OK

回答4:

for maven project , you should add this dependency

<dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
            <version>6.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

回答5:

add servlet-api jar file which is present in the lib folder under tomcat folder. You can do this as follows Project -> properties -> java build path -> under libraries click add external jars after that go to project -> clean -> build all. this worked for me.

回答6:

I came across the same issue. I tried adding the server in "Server Runtime" but unfortunately that didn't work for me.

What worked for me is, I added javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar file in build path. On the other hand If It's a Maven project add dependency for this jar file. This would definitely work.

回答7:

Add servlet-api.jar file which is present in the lib folder under tomcat folder. You can do this using the following steps:

1.Select project properties
2.Select Java Build Path
3.Select Libraries
4.Select External Jars
5.Select servlet-api.jar
6. Apply & Ok.

The issue should be resolved after these steps.

回答8:

Adding the Tomcat server in the server runtime will do the job:

Right click your project and than;

Project properties → Target Runtimes → Select/Check "Apache Tomcat" → Finish.

回答9:

I had this same issue and a couple others being reported for a existing maven project.

I had the proper dependencies in place and I could see the jar under maven dependencies, however the project was improperly brought into eclipse.

I ended up having to delete the project, clone from git again then do an import of the project as an existing maven project.

This solved the issue in this thread and several others issues I was having. More details on solution can be found here: Maven Project in Eclipse `org.springframework cannot be resolved to a type` from target path

回答10:

Always check if your java files are in src/main/java and not on some other directory path.

回答11:

Try This - Add Tomcat at run time

回答12:

For an Ant project:

Make sure, you have servlet-api.jar in the lib folder.

For a Maven project:

Make sure, you have the dependency added in POM.xml.

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Another way to do it is: Update the project facets to pick up the right server.

Check this box in this location:

Project → Properties → Target Runtimes → Apache Tomcat (any server)

回答13:

Your system can have many different tomcat versions. You can try to solve it.

Right Click on Project then Select Properties, Select Project Facets and on the right section, Select right Apache Tomcat versions as Runtimes and click ok

回答14:

I faced the same error. Adding the tomcat server in the runtime environment will solve the error:

Right click on your project -> Properties -> Targeted runtimes -> Select apache tomcat server -> click apply -> click ok.

回答15:

The superclass “javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet” was not found on the Java Build Path

Error: "Can not find the tag library descriptor for "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"

Solution: Adding the tomcat server in the server runtime will do the job : Project Properties-> Java Build Path-> Add Library -> Select "Server Runtime" from the list-> Next->Select "Apache Tomcat"-> Finish

This solution work for me.

回答16:

you are getting this error because of the server is not enabled by default i.e you don't have any runtime chosen for that is why you are getting the error so, for that you need to do the following steps to choose the runtime.

Follow The Path right-click on the project --> GoTo Properties--> Click on Targeted Runtimes-->then click on the checkbox i.e Apache tomcat or other servers which you are using --->then click on apply and then apply and close
