The absolute uri: http://www.springsource.org/tags/form cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

java, jsp, maven, spring

Solution

If you open up `spring-webmvc-3.1.0-RELEASE.jar/META-INF/spring-form.tld` the `<uri>` to use is

<uri>http://www.springframework.org/tags/form</uri>

So you should have

<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

Problem

Currently, I use a 'Maven' project where I put in my pom.xml the current dependencies to use Spring Framework where org.springframework.version = 3.1.0.RELEASE : ``` <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> </dependency> <!-- Spring MVC framework --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> <artifactId>spring-security-taglibs</artifactId> <version>${org.springframework.version}</version> </dependency> ``` All the jar dependencies are sitting in target/myGoogleAppEngine-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib. This directory contains : ``` spring-aop-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar spring-beans-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar spring-webmvc-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar spring-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar spring-security-taglibs-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar spring-security-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar ... ``` At the beginning of my address.jsp, I've the following line : ``` <%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springsource.org/tags/form" %> ``` But I've the following error when I execute the address.jsp : ``` Error 500 org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://www.springsource.org/tags/form cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application ```
