This is a follow up to a question on accessing resources in jsp page of spring mvc app Thanks to @kmb385 I was able to resolve that problem but now I get the following eclipse errors in my JSP file javax.servlet.jsp.JspException cannot be resolved to a type and
javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext cannot be resolved to a type
as suggest by kmb385, here is my controller:
@Controller
public class AdminController {
@RequestMapping("/")
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("index");
model.addObject("msg", "hello world");
return model;
}
}
and here is my index.jsp page just in case:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<!-- <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"/> -->
<style type="text/css">
<%@include file="css/style.css" %>
</style>
<title>My Project - MainPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2 class="main_heading2">My Project - MainPage</h2>
<div style="float: right; width: 30%; text-align: center">
<p style="float:left;">an image should be here</p>
<img src="images/logo.jpg" alt="Logo"/>
<img src="${pageContext.servletContext.contextPath}/resources/images/logo.jpg" />
</div>
</body>
I have come across "solutions" to this by disabling it in the JSP validator but Please do not suggest this unless you can give a legitimate reason. I would rather correct this issue properly
Any Help appreciated
UPDATE:
Build path screen grab as requested by @kmb385

Try setting the servlet-api dependency in your pom.xml to provided. This jar maybe conflicting with the tomcat provided servlet-api.jar.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Also be sure to include the jsp-api dependency, once again set as provided:
<!-- Servlet -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.3</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Make sure all of your maven dependencies are being used to build the project by right clicking your project > Properties. On the deployment assembly tab click the add button, then Java Build Path Entries, then Maven Dependencies and finally Finish.
You may also need to add your maven dependencies to the build path. Right click your project > Maven > Update Project Configuration.

If you have downloaded all the dependencies in maven and the error is still not getting away, follow the steps below:
This should work.

Try import the class.
Modify your jsp's first line to look like this;
<%@ page language="java" import="javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
