How to configure taglib with servlet 4.0

Question

My application is running on Tomcat 9. I want to use servlet 4.0 and taglibs in my jsp application.

Header of my jsp is :

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

To solve the issue I have added JSTL dependency but the servlet version does not match to 4.0.

The following dependency belongs to servlet 2.4.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

The following dependency belongs to servlet 2.5.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.5</version>
</dependency>

[1] Your post states "Header of my jsp is :", but there is nothing following that. Can you update your post to fix that? [2] See this SO answer for the error message you are getting. That answer is over 7 years old, so obviously it does not apply to your specific problem and the versions you are using, but its very detailed explanation may be helpful anyway. — skomisa

It must be a dependency project problem.

I managed to get spring-boot jsp sample running.

It embeds version 9.0.10 of tomcat and depends on version 1.2 of jstl library
