ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory

Question

I have a maven-based app that I copied exactly and tried to run mvn jetty:run

And now getting this error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory
    at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.strategy.SelfFirstStrategy.loadClass(SelfFirstStrategy.java:50)
    at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm.unsynchronizedLoadClass(ClassRealm.java:271)

    at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm.loadClass(ClassRealm.java:239)
    ... 47 more

The weird thing is the same exact copy of the project that works on the other machine.

Answer 1

The reason is that the class javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory does not exist in servlet-api artifact. It exists in jsp-api artifact. I exploded the 2 jars and here's the result:

Add the jsp-api dependency according to the version you need, eg:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 2

You can use the below dependency in pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

tomcat-embed-jasper: provides support for .jsp file rendering.

Answer 3

I added both the dependencies from both the previous answers and removed the dependency that I added from the maven repository. Copying both dependencies so it won't create any confusion after some more answers are added.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
