What is the standard pom for adding the 1.2.1 JSTL taglib in a maven project. Any recommendations as to when/if can this be scoped as provided ? Any server peculiarities (interested in Jboss 7, Glassfish 4 and/or Tomcat 7)
EDIT: Added:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
This adds:
Notice it transitively adds the 1.2 api.
I am using provided as I am using Jboss which should provide it: Basic question complicated solution - Tomcat to JBoss. Still this is the 1.2 api apparently
$ find . -name *jstl*.jar
./modules/javax/servlet/jstl/api/main/jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec-1.0.2.Final.jar
(contains implementation also). So would the correct way be to add the jstl jars to the pom (not in provided scope) and mark the servlet-api (I'm on 3 anyway) as provided somehow ?
Ended up using :
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- Add the jstl-api dependency explicitly - otherwise jstl-api 1.2 is added -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<exclusions>
<!-- jstl-api was adding selvlet-api 2.5 and jsp-api-->
<exclusion>
<artifactId>jstl-api</artifactId>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Not sure if I should add the jstl-api dependency - please comment (I would accept a more authoritative answer actually). Result:

I'm working with Spring Boot 2.4.4 and I would change the default web server Tomcat to undertow orJHetty but I find it very difficult using both Gradle or Maven.
An old documentation exposes how do it but I'm sure all is changed because now tomcat, undertow and jetty configuration is embedded in the core library:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.1.9.RELEASE/reference/html/howto-embedded-web-servers.html
How do it in the 2.4.4 version?
There are no changes between the versions. This is well described right at the Spring Boot 2.4.4 Reference guide, right in 3.1. Use Another Web Server section. Basically, the change consists of two steps:
Exclude embedded Tomcat server dependency from the spring-boot-starter-web artifact:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<!-- Exclude the Tomcat dependency -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Include your embedded server as a separate dependency instead:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>
Just don't forget to notice the following quote from the reference guide in the very same section which might or might not be relevant to you:
The version of the Servlet API has been overridden as, unlike Tomcat 9 and Undertow 2.0, Jetty 9.4 does not support Servlet 4.0.
follow three steps to change the default web server, change configuration in pom.xml.
1.exclude the default web server.
2.Include the necessary web server.
3.Maven update.
For example,
Instead of this
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</dependency>
Add this one
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>
for the necessary server add the appropriate web server dependency.
I am using jstl-1.1.2 jar in my application. Veracode shows high vulnerability for using this tag library. Veracode shows vulnerability for versions until 1.2.3. During my research I could only find version 1.2. Is there a version 1.2.3 for this jar? Or is there anything I can do to remediate this vulnerability?
What are my options? Please suggest.
My Maven dependency looks like:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
Maven repository shows v.1.2 is available (Jun 23, 2011):
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/jstl -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
Also, JSTL was moved to another place, v.1.2 (May 14, 2015)
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet.jsp.jstl/jstl -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
Similarly, Maven repository shows v.1.2.5 for taglibs is available:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.taglibs/taglibs-standard-impl -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.taglibs</groupId>
<artifactId>taglibs-standard-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.2.5</version>
</dependency>
So, only the taglibs can be updated to v.1.2.5 to mitigate this vulnerability:
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) Injection. Apache Standard Taglibs before 1.2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or conduct external XML entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XSLT extension in a <x:parse> or <x:transform> JSTL XML tag.
Ok, I am a little confused on the differences between jsf-api implementations.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
I am not sure what the differences are between these two. I thought they do the same thing and allow the javax.faces imports but now I have confused myself. Can anyone please explain these two differences? Thanks :)
There was somes changes with the groupId of the Maven JSF-API dependency since the first version. For JSF 2.2 (current version as I'm writing this), you should use the following recommended dependency, if you are running in a container supporting JSF:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.faces-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
If your container does not support JSF (like Tomcat), use the following dependency if you want to use Mojarra (the default JSF implementation):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.faces</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>
Other recommmendation and information are available on the official page of JSF.
Here is the relevant portion of pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jackson-provider</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-all-5.0</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Why is the scope of resteasy compile (which is default, when none is provided) but that of javax.servlet is provided. I am deploying this on Jboss which ships with resteasy. so shouldn't the scope of resteasy be provided as well?
and btw, I do not see any version mentioned. so what is the default version that gets picked up?
If you are using jboss 7, resteasy-jackson-provider is included, so it would be correct to use a provided scope.
I guess default version is being picked up from a bom declared in the dependencyManagement section of your pom, could that be right?
For older jboss versions, resteasy is not included, so you will have to add the jars to your WEB-INF/lib directory.
Necessary jars can be obtained using maven (compile scope) or check out this link http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-frameworks/resteasy/resteasy-tutorial
The RESTEasy API and runtime is provided by newer versions of JBoss. Usually you import a Java EE-spec pom in the dependencyManagaement section and add the needed APIs in the dependency section, e.g for JBoss AS7:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-6.0</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-jaxrs-api_1.1_spec</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The runtime will use the JSON-Provider which is found on the classpath. So it makes sense to add them with scope compile to your project. If you want to use Jettison you'd add following to your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jettison-provider</artifactId>
</dependency>
If you don't add one your application server may provide a default one. JBoss AS7 / Wildfly for instance will use resteasy-jackson-provider if you don't add a provider to the classpath.
JBoss 5 does not provide the JAX-RS libs as far as I know so there it makes sense to add the resteasy-jackson-provider with scope compile.
I'm trying to deploy a JSF based application to Tomcat 6. The way my build system is setup, the WAR itself doesn't have any libraries in it, because this server is serving a total of 43 apps. Instead, the libraries are copied into a shared library folder and shared among the apps. When I deploy, I get this error

Now in my research, I see that this is supposed to be solved by downloading the JSF source code and compiling it myself. That is a horrible solution in my case. That will cause huge problems on my team with the various configurations we have to contend with. Is there another fix for this?

There has got to be a solution here. I can't for a second believe that the Maven distributable for JSF is only good for compiling and not good for deployment.
When you're facing a "weird" exception suggesting that classes/methods/files/components/tags are absent or different while they are seemingly explicitly included in the web application such as the ones below,
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/faces/webapp/FacesServlet
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find javax.faces.LogStrings bundle
com.sun.faces.vendor.WebContainerInjectionProvider cannot be cast to com.sun.faces.spi.InjectionProvider
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: CONFIGURATION FAILED
The tag named inputFile from namespace http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html has a null handler-class defined.
java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.faces.CurrentThreadToServletContext.getFallbackFactory
java.lang.AbstractMethodError at javax.faces.application.ViewHandlerWrapper.getWebsocketURL
java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.faces.config.InitFacesContext.cleanupInitMaps
or when you're facing "weird" runtime behavior such as broken HTTP sessions (jsessionid appears in link URLs over all place), and/or broken Faces view scope (it behaves as request scoped), and/or broken CSS/JS/image resources, then the chance is big that the webapp's runtime classpath is polluted with duplicate different versioned JAR files.
In your specific case with the ClassFormatError on the FacesServlet, it means that the JAR file containing the mentioned class has been found for the first time is actually a "blueprint" API JAR file, intented for implementation vendors (such as developers working for Mojarra and MyFaces). It contains class files with only class and method signatures, without any code bodies and resource files. That's exactly what "absent code attribute" means. It's purely intented for javadocs and compilation.
Always mark server-provided libraries as provided
All dependencies marked "Java Specifications" in Maven and having -api suffix in the artifact ID are those blueprint APIs. You should absolutely not have them in the runtime classpath. You should always mark them <scope>provided</scope> if you really need to have it in your pom. A well known example is the Jakarta EE (Web) API (formerly known as Java EE):
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.jakartaee-api</artifactId>
<version><!-- 8.0.0 or 9.0.0 or 9.1.0 or 10.0.0 or newer --></version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
If the provided scope is absent, then this JAR will end up in webapp's /WEB-INF/lib, causing all trouble you're facing now. This JAR also contains the blueprint class of FacesServlet.
In your specific case, you have an unnecessary Faces API dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.faces-api</artifactId>
</dependency>
This is causing trouble because this contains the blueprint class of FacesServlet. Removing it and relying on a provided Jakarta EE (Web) API as shown above should solve it.
Tomcat as being a barebones JSP/Servlet container already provides JSP, Servlet and EL (and since 8 also WebSocket) out the box. So you should mark at least jsp-api, servlet-api, and el-api as provided. Tomcat only doesn't provide Faces (and JSTL) out the box. So you'd need to install it via the webapp.
Full fledged Jakarta EE servers such as WildFly, TomEE, GlassFish, Payara, WebSphere, etc already provide the entire Jakarta EE API out the box, including Faces. So you do absolutely not need to install Faces via the webapp. It would only result in conflicts if the server already provides a different implementation and/or version out the box. The only dependency you need is the jakartaee-api exactly as shown here above.
See also How to properly configure Jakarta EE libraries in Maven pom.xml for Tomcat? for more elaborate explanation and examples of pom.xml for Tomcat 10 and 9.
Installing Faces on Tomcat 10 or newer
Tomcat 10.0.x is the first version using jakarta.* package instead of javax.* package. You'll for Tomcat 10.0.x thus need a minimum of Faces 3.0 instead of 2.3 because the javax.* package has been renamed to jakarta.* since Faces 3.0 only. In case you have Tomcat 10.1.x, then you need a minimum Faces version of 4.0.
There are two Faces implementations: Mojarra and MyFaces. You should choose to install one of them and thus not both.
Installing Mojarra 3.0 on Tomcat 10 or newer:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.faces</artifactId>
<version><!-- Check https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/mojarra --></version>
</dependency>
You can also check org.glassfish:jakarta.faces repository for current latest 3.0.x release version (which is currently 3.0.3). See also Mojarra installation instructions for other necessary dependencies (CDI, BV, JSONP).
Installing MyFaces 3.0 on Tomcat 10 or newer:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
<version><!-- Check http://myfaces.apache.org --></version>
</dependency>
You can also check org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-impl repository for current latest 3.0.x release version (which is currently 3.0.2).
Don't forget to install JSTL API along, by the way. This is also absent in Tomcat.
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Also note that since Faces 2.3, CDI has become a required dependency. This is available out the box in normal Jakarta EE servers but not on servletcontainers such as Tomcat. In this case head to How to install and use CDI on Tomcat?
Installing Faces on Tomcat 9 or older
You can only use at maximum Faces 2.3 on Tomcat 9 or older because it is the latest version still using javax.* package.
Installing Mojarra 2.3 on Tomcat 9 or older:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.faces</artifactId>
<version><!-- Check https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/mojarra --></version>
</dependency>
You can also check org.glassfish:jakarta.faces repository for current latest 2.3.x release version (which is currently 2.3.18). See also Mojarra installation instructions for other necessary dependencies (CDI, BV, JSONP).
Installing MyFaces 2.3 on Tomcat 9 or older:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
<version><!-- Check http://myfaces.apache.org --></version>
</dependency>
You can also check org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-impl repository for current latest 2.3.x release version (which is currently 2.3.9).
Note that Tomcat 6 as being Servlet 2.5 container supports at maximum Faces 2.1.
Don't forget to install JSTL API along, by the way. This is also absent in Tomcat.
<dependency>
<groupId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2.7</version>
</dependency>
Also note that since Faces 2.3, CDI has become a required dependency. This is available out the box in normal Jakarta EE servers but not on servletcontainers such as Tomcat. In this case head to How to install and use CDI on Tomcat?
