刚看到这个报错真的是不知所措，上面说是一个jsp页面jstl标签报错，有一个类无法初始化，当我点击到jsp时jstl标签确实报红。但是我发现也没有缺少依赖。tomcat是自带servlet-api依赖的。最后我查了一下百度，根据其他人提供的资料结合我的项目排查的结果，发现是版本冲突，起冲突的依赖是activiti 。

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
    <artifactId>activiti-common-rest</artifactId>
    <version>RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

我使用的tomcat 8.5.11，jdk 1.8，只需要将activiti版本改为5.x就可以了。

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
   <artifactId>activiti-common-rest</artifactId>
   <version>5.22.0</version>
</dependency>
