I don't know what I've done incorrectly, but I can't include JSTL. I have jstl-1.2.jar, but unfortunately I get exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

I just wanted to add the fix I found for this issue. I'm not sure why this worked. I had the correct version of jstl (1.2) and also the correct version of servlet-api (2.5)
I also had the correct address in my page as suggested in this thread, which is
What fixed this issue for me was removing the scope tag from my xml file in the pom for my jstl 1.2 dependency. Again not sure why that fixed it but just in case someone is doing the spring with JPA and Hibernate tutorial on pluralsight and has their pom setup this way, try removing the scope tag and see if that fixes it. Like I said it worked for me.
