Clarification for jstl <c:foreach> tag

HI,
I am facing one issue regarding following scenario.

I am getting one array list to jsp page .I am using Jstl (<c:foreach>) for looping through Arraylist. But Arraylist contains Dto which intern contains Arraylist of Vo(value objects)

Problem : I am not able to access Arraylist which is available in Dto.

Code Sample

<c:forEach var="PresentationListDTO" begin="0" items="${modifyList}" step="1" varStatus="status">

<tr>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.request}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.name}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.company_desc}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.location_desc}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.office_desc}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.dept_desc}"/></td>
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListDTO.category_desc}"/></td>
<td>
<c:forEach var="PresentationListVo" begin="0" items="${PresentationListDTO.voList}" step="1">
<td class="table_field"><c

ut value="${PresentationListVo.item}"/></td>
</c:forEach>

</td>

</
</c:forEach>

Geiing error while executing Inner <c:foreach> loop.
error - "${PresentationListDTO.voLis}": Unable to find a value for "voLis" in object of class

You are accessing ${PresentationListDTO.voList} but in the error you are getting something like "voLis" . Which is correct? The error or the jsp?

Thanks for quick response

Error i am getting is

"${PresentationListDTO.voList}": Unable to find a value for "voList" in object of class 'Dto class'
using operator "." (null)

Have you written the getter and setter methods for the voList in the PresentationListDTO class?

when you use the "." operator in EL language the first item should be a Bean or a Map however i think that PresentationListDTO is neither one, so i would suggest to use the [ ] operators to access it.

I have wriiten setter and getter methods.

If PresentationListDTO was not a bean then it would have thrown error at this line itself

Am I right?

Yes unless you have a getRequest in PresentationListDTO.

but here is another question what is the type of voList ?

Please ask this on the JSP forum; this has nothing to do with Struts.

Hi Vamsi,

Please publish your classes here so that we can investigate the issue further. Don't forget to embed your code inside the [code] tag.
