How to display arraylist value in jsp, using JSTL tags?

[Pradeep Prabhakaran]

I have an arraylist object(e,g myArrayList),which contains a bean object.
Now if i m setting this object in request using:

request.setAttribute("myArraylist",myArrayList);

i want this object in my jsp. I know how to iterate the values using scriptlets, but i want to use jstl tags to retrieve the value of the Arraylist from the request object. N use the tags to display the values in jsp.

Or most anything else turned up by searching for c:forEach tag.

You can use forEach core jstl tag.

<c:forEach var="nameOfTheBeanObjectInTheList" items="nameOfTheListAttribute">
// You codes with the bean object...
</c:forEach>

It's like Java foreach:

for(Object nameOfTheBeanObjectInTheList:nameOfTheListAttribute)  {
// you stuff with that bean object.
}

<c:forEach var="nameOfTheBeanObjectInTheList" items="nameOfTheListAttribute">

</c:forEach>
 

Here, shouldn't i specify the type of the "var" in <c:forEach> tag.Will just the name of the bean object be sufficient.

Please see the JavaRanch naming policy and change your display name to conform with this policy. Thanks!

You do not need to set the type. (I'm not even sure you can.) Wouldn't it just be easier to try it rather than wait for an answer?
