Hi all,
I have a problem.
The servlet is sending an array of objects of a class BB.
How do I access that this array in my JSP.
Thanks

You can store the array in either the session object or in the request object- put code something like this in the servlet:
To store in the session:
HttpSession sess= request.getSession();
sess.putValue("myarray", BBarray);
Then to access it from the JSP:
BB [] arr= (BB[])session.getValue("myarray");
To store in the request:
request.setAttribute("myarray", BBarray);
To access it in the JSP:
BB [] arr= (BB[])request.getAttribute("myarray");

Thanks Katie McCann.
But the document says that the getAttribute returns the object bound with the specified name . Does that mean only one object or whatever we set using setAttribute. (ie it can be a single object or array of object).
Thanks

It's important to understand that in Java, an array is an Object, just like the other aggregations (Hashtable, vector, List, Map, etc. etc.)
