Error using jstl inside component jsp

[chetanvajre2014]

I'm using this simple tag

<c:set var="content" value="${sling:getResource(resourceResolver,/content/dam/imf/public/sampleicons)}" />

Getting an error

The function getResource cannot be located with the specified prefix

Complete jsp:

<%--

  Directory Browser component.

  Lists all resources in the directory

--%><%
%><%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
<%
%><%@page session="false" %><%
%><%
    // TODO add you code here
%>

<sling:defineObjects/>
<%
String url ="/content/dam/imf/public/sampleicons";
%>
This component lists all in the directory
<c:set var="content" value="${sling:getResource(resourceResolver,url)}" />

why dont you try with this

<sling:defineObjects> has directly the sling tag libraries to use like below

<sling:getResource var="content" path="<url>" />

Getting the same

Interesting, seems like for some reason the taglib isn't loading either that specific implementation. IF you look at my code, I have used slign:definobjects

    

Error during include of component '/apps/imftgsik/components/directorybrowser'

Error Message:

org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException: org.apache.sling.scripting.jsp.jasper.JasperException: /apps/imftgsik/components/directorybrowser/directorybrowser.jsp(20,0) No tag "getResource" defined in tag library imported with prefix "sling"

[chetanvajre2014]

Global.jsp has this defined

<%@taglib prefix="sling" uri="http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling/1.0" %>

We are using 5.6.1

I have not seen an issue with JSP - Standard Tag Libraries and AEM. For example - see this AEM Community article:

As per the documentation, the getResource method is available since taglib version 1.3. The taglib URI imported in global.jsp is 1.0 and thats why the method is not working for you. 

To solve this problem, do the following- 

1. Override global.jsp under apps and change the Sling taglib URI to the following- http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling (As per documentation - All releases from 1.3 onward are expected to use the URI http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling to ensure ease of upgrading to newer versions of the Taglib.)
2. In your JSP include the global.jsp from /apps location and not from /libs. 
3. In the getResource method the resource path should be passed as String (The quotations are missing in your syntax). <c:set var="content" value="${sling:getResource(resourceResolver,'/content/dam/imf/public/sampleicons')}" />

That could be it! Quick question, in 6.1, what version is included by default?

[chetanvajre2014]

Kunal,

I think I had tried that, but getting this error:

xception: /apps/imftgsik/components/directorybrowser/directorybrowser.jsp(1,1) The absolute uri: http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling/1.3 cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

Do we need to update one of the core jar files?

[Kunal_Gaba_ · Accepted solution]

You can check the version of taglib in the following bundle jar - org.apache.sling.scripting.jsp.taglib. In AEM 6.1, three versions of taglib are included - 1.0,1.1,1.2 and 1.4 with URI - http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling. The TLD files are in META-INF folder in the jar file.  

I have tested the following code in 6.1 and it works fine- 

<%@taglib prefix="sling" uri="http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling" %> <%@taglib prefix="cq" uri="http://www.day.com/taglibs/cq/1.0" %> <cq:defineObjects /> <c:set var="content" value="${sling:getResource(resourceResolver,'/content')}" />
