I am working on java web project (maven) and used spring. Everything worked fine with spring, till I used spring form tags. While running jsp, error pops,
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: [http://www.springframework.org/tags/form] cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application
I am giving code from files as follows:
