I am having difficulties with getting JSTL to work when executing my website as a JAR (works fine if I use the class files directly).
When I run mvn package the dependency directory and website-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar are created in the target directory. I have tried to start the website with the following two commands:
java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -classpath "/home/tom/workspace/website/target/classes:/home/tom/workspace/website/target/dependency/*" -jar target/website-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar target/website-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
These both resulted in the following exception when I tried to visit the webiste (start-up itself completes without any exceptions).
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/pages/index.jsp(1,1) /WEB-INF/pages/header.jsp(1,61) PWC6188: The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
Now if I try to start the website with the following command (or through IntelliJ) everything works fine.
java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -classpath "/home/tom/workspace/website/target/classes:/home/tom/workspace/website/target/dependency/*" com.website.server.WebServer
I can see that javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-1.2.0.v201105211821.jar is being referenced in the MANIFEST (and is present in the dependency directory) so I don't believe it has anything to do with a missing dependency (diffs between the MANIFEST, the dependency dir, and the classpath IntelliJ generated proved inconclusive, although I am quite tired so will have to revisit this tomorrow).
Has anyone else come across issues with this when running jar files? Or advice for further debugging. I am using Java 7, Jetty 9 (embedded), Spring MVC 3.2.4, JSTL 1.2, and Maven 3.1.0.
My pom and web.xml are below.
