List<List<String>> to be rendered in JSP

[Ankit Chandrawat]

Hi,

I have an object of type List<List<String>> on JSP. This object has 3-5 List<String> objects. I want to iterate List<List<String>> object using <c:forEach> and assign the List<String>>objects to variables using <c:set>. How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance
Ankit

It's just a list of lists, so you'll need nested foreach tags just as you'd need nested for loops in Java.

Give the code a try.

Hi Bear,

Thanks for the response. But the object here is to first fetch those list into different variables. As those lists will have to be used further for different purpose.

Different variables? I don't get it. What would be the names of those variables? And how would you match them up with the elements of the lists, given that there would be a fixed number of variables and a non-fixed number of list elements?

That makes no sense at all. How would you separate them into two variables in Java? Answer: you can't.

If you want two lists, create two lists from the outset.
