package javax.servlet.jsp.tagext does not exist-CodePudding

I use Maven for including servlet-api

<dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.1</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

And other packages seem to work perfectly fine (e.g. javax.servlet.http.*) But when it comes to javax.servlet.jsp.tagext compiler does not see it. Application is deployed on Tomcat 9.0.55.

CodePudding user response：

You need to add javax.servlet.jsp-api to your project. This contains the required package.

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet.jsp/javax.servlet.jsp-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.3</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

It also include the dependency to javax.servlet-api, so you do not need it explizitly in your project.
