Hey ,I am facing a lot of issues regarding this JSTL usage for the springboot project on eclipse ide .
I have seen the previous issues on this repo before and nothing seems to work for me, I am posting my pom.xml .If anyone could help me, It would be great. Its a maven project showing error:
There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
Circular view path [login]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/login] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)
jakarta.servlet.ServletException: Circular view path [login]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/login] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)

Do you confirm it works with Java 17?
Comment From: ujjwaleee26
Hi @quaff ,I am not sure about java 17, the course I am doing about SpringBoot suggests on using whatever latest is available, so I create a SpringBoot Project on spring initializer,with java 21 and maven and when i am trying to use JSTL tags by adding these dependencies they are shwoing There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagLibraryValidator
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagLibraryValidator. I have seen every solution possible ,but not working, can you please help

There is an issue with your application dependencies. You should not depend nor import from the javax.* namespace as Spring Boot 3 requires jakarta.*. Please review your dependencies and ask further questions on StackOverflow.
