Problem retrieving arraylist data in jsp page.Help needed :)

Hello all,
Im stuck with a peculiar problem(atleast for me

). The situation is, In my jsp page i have to retrieve certain values. my jsp code is...

Where the req_code values that i get is from the form beans. Now the only problem is to retrieve the values of the 2nd arraylist viz list1. The 2nd arraylist contains certain float values which corresponds to the req_code values. At present i can only retrieve the values of req_code vertically....the current output is...
R12345 Balance:
the way i want it is..
R12345 Balance: 345.0
and so on....
Please help me on how to achieve this.
regards,
G.Joseph

<select name="req_code" size=1>
<%SelCloseReqForm scrobj=null;
ArrayList list=(ArrayList)request.getAttribute("list");
ArrayList list1= (ArrayList) request.getAttribute("list1");
Object f=request.getAttribute("f");
if(list1!=null && list1.size()>0){
Iterator itr1= list1.iterator();
for(Iterator itr=list.iterator();itr.hasNext())
{scrobj=(SelCloseReqForm)itr.next();
scrObj1=(SelCloseReqForm)itr1.next();
%>
<option value="" <%=scrobj.getReq_Code() %> "," "\">
<%=scrobj.getReq_Code() %> Balance : <%=scrObj1.getReq_Code(); </option> <%}}}//end if %>
</select>
Here i am assuming list and list1 will have equal size everytime.

see if it works for you or not

Hiya Patricia,
Thanks a ton for your valuable inputs. I think i didnt convey my problem correctly. Ok, the problem here is that the value scrobj.getReq_Code is comming from a bean, whereas the value of list1 is not comming from any bean. I've managed to print the values the way i want, the only problem here is ive done it twice in the select option. What i've done is...

And obviously, the values are getting iterated twice here. How can i print the values once. P.S-- the values of list is from bean, and list1 is not.
the output that im getting is something like this...
R1234 Balance: 23.0
R3456 Balance: 45.0
R5453 Balance: 89.0
and again in option
R1234 Balance: 23.0
R3456 Balance: 45.0
R5453 Balance: 89.0

Hope you got my point...Phew that was some typing...

My suggestion would be that instead of trying to do this in your JSP, move this into your Action (or some other Java code) where you can build up a collection that looks like what you need for your JSP. I am picturing a class named ReportItem (or whatever) that contains two properties: code, and balance. In your Java code you could take the two lists and create a single list of ReportItem objects.

Hi brent,
Thanks for the response. Can you please give me an example on how to do this. I'll be very greatfull. The thing is the value of the req_code is comming from my resultset where ive created the getter/setter methods. And the other item that ive stored in the arraylist is returning a float value. So im just confused on how to do this. Basically how to iterate through the 2 arraylist in one logic iterate or scriplet(if we can achieve it in one iterate function).
regards,
Geo

It would be hard for me to give you an example without knowing more about your data. How do you pair up the records in the two lists? Is it just by order (the first record in list 1 matches the first record in list 2, ...)? If that is the case then I assume the lists would be the same size. I would use a for loop with an integer index and use the List.get(index) method instead of trying to manage two iterators.

List1 must be having list of prices.....there is no criteria to map prices with your R..values. if there is no criteria of mapping...I mean you just want to print balance with R values ignoring the order...Then do this
while(rs.next()){
scrObj.setReq_Code(rs.getString("Req_Code"));
list.add(srcObj);
}
and then in your business service or whereever you want write this
int index =0;
for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++){
SelCloseReqForm srcObj = (SelCloseReqForm)list.get(i);
//create field balance in your Form.
srcObj.setBalance(list1.get(index));
index++;
}
and now in your jsp.
for(Iterator itr=list.iterator();itr.hasNext()){
{scrobj=(SelCloseReqForm)itr.next();{%>
<option value="" <%=scrobj.getReq_Code() %> "," <%=srcObj.getBalance()% "\"> <%=scrobj.getReq_Code() %> Balance : <%=srcObj.getBalance()%> </option<%}%>
See if it makes sense for you.

if something is not clear then let us know
