How to create a tag using TagSupport?

Question

When I try to extend TagSupport - no class is found.

The only place were it is located is javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport, but when I add the dependency - here is the exception I have.

What am I doing wrong to create custom a tag library tag?

Answer 1

Try lowering the version in the pom.xml file (maven file)

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
        <version>8.0.1</version> //Like this one!
    </dependency>
