EL

will this EL work

<%
List l= new ArrayList();
l.add("a");
request.setAttribute("list",l);
request.setAttribute("listIdx","1");
%>

${list['listIdx']}.
as per me.. the value in the [] must resolve to the index, but as it is quoted. it wont work.

What happened when you tried it? These are easy things to try out for yourself. Please let us know what you discover.

So remove the quotes:

${list[listIdx]}.

Stefan,

this was a question in one of the dumps, so i just cant remove the ''.

Bear, I tried it, there is a runtime exception when there are ''.Works ok when the '' are removed.
