HTTP Status 500 - The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to install JSTL? The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jstl/core cannot be resolved
(20 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm trying to run a web application in myEclipse(latest version) using Tomcat 7. As such, I've included JSTL 1.2 jar files as shown here
But when I run the application and try to log in(through the log-in form), I get this error.
Here's the full log of the error on the console:

I've also copied the jstl files directly to my WEB-INF folder of the project as I saw in some of the forums. But the error still doesn't go away.
And also, my web.xml file looks like this:

</web-app>
And it's showing the following error.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the error or not. I'm totally confused and I don't even know where to start. The odd thing is that my database is updating the tables as I enter the data in the form, even though the web application keeps throwing this error my way.

I got it! All I had to do was to copy the jstl files into the WEB-INF->lib folder. Problem was, there was no lib folder inside the WEB-INF folder of my project, so I created one. After that, I copied those three jstl files into the WEB-INF->lib folder and viola! My project is working.

servlet-context.xml:
?
Could somebody explain what is the problem?

Try this configuration or rename your config accordingly :
I prefer to name the servlet as 'dispatcher' and it's context file as dispatcher-servlet.xml. It worked fine for me.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The Servlet.init() errors mainly occur due to mismatching of versions of the Jar files of your spring MVC, Check out all your libraries by right click on the project>properties>build path, and remove any mismatched jar release.
Also delete the jar library from your lib folder.
Build the project again and the run it.

try this out:
servlet-context.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Have been trying to fix it from hours. Searched google and similar issues with no success. I am exhausted. How to fix it? I just want to see DataSource working.
Details
JDK 6.1
netbeans 7.2
tomcat 7.0.27

This appears to be the best guide that I can find:

A quick test would be to put it here:

IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.1 - Spring MVC Project Template Error [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
My Application Could not open ServletContext resource
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm playing with Spring Framework in IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.1.
In IntelliJ I choose: File -> New Project -> Spring -> Spring MVC -> Create Project From Template. It creates default Spring project with configuration of deploying WAR:exploded to Tomcat Server. I change nothing to the default configuration. It builds and deploys correctly, but the result is following:
HTTP Status 500 - Servlet.init() for servlet mvc-dispatcher threw exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet mvc-dispatcher threw exception

Files generated by IntelliJ are quite concise:

#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class HelloController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String printWelcome(ModelMap model) {
model.addAttribute("message", "Hello world!");
return "hello";
}
}
This occurs on two different machines, under Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7.
I downloaded some other Spring MVC projects from the Internet and they run just fine, so I guess the problem is with the files IntelliJ generates automatically, which I find weird. However, I was not able to find which part causes this problem.

I was facing the same problem and changing the JAVA SDK (File >> Project
Structure >> Projects)from 1.8 to 1.6 or 1.7 helped remove the problem.

First you need to add the listener class on web.xml, its the ContextLoaderListener
after your </servlet-mapping> add:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
If you get errors about the mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml location add this to the top of <servlet>:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

ContextLoaderListener

So it has worked before you killed Eclipse/Tomcat by taskmanager? Maybe the deploy or work folder of Tomcat is actually dirty while Eclipse still thinks that it is clean. Rightclick Tomcat in Eclipse (first shutdown Tomcat if not done yet) and choose Clean and then Publish and then start it.
