In this topic, I would like to ask what is going on with this problem and how could I solved this problem?

Yes...Below is the snippet of the error I've got.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /Profile/profile.jsp at line 41

38: <fieldset class="frame">
39: <div class="whitepaper">
40: <blockquote>

42: <c:out value="${co.arraylistComments}"/>
43: </c:forEach>
44: </blockquote></div></fieldset></div>

Now let us see what happens before the error came out of it's cave

Let see the servlet code


Last but not least, I would like to itterate myProfikeComments in the JSP code below.
Unfortunately it gives me a 500 error.



Would some one kindly enough to help me out here please. I have spent tenths of hours on solving this problem. I really appreciate your time.

What's a "Comments" object and what makes you think it's possible to iterate over such an object?

Thanks for the response man.

the comments is a variable of JSTL.

Btw code update. It works but it does not give me what I wanted



The code above displays all of the array value 3X instead of displaying each element.
The image below show you what I mean with what is going on


I am trying to achieve something like this

The images tell me nothing. We're talking about JSTL here. JSTL has rules about what you can iterate over; you
could (and should) read the JSTL specs to find out what those rules are. Then review the Comments class (the one
which I asked you about but you didn't reply). We already know from the error message that a Comments object
isn't one of the things which JSTL can iterate over. But perhaps it has a method which returns some kind of a list of
comments, or something else which JSTL can iterate over.

The Comments is a variable or instance of the class below
The code below retrieves comments and it's formation from the database.
The servlet will access this code and set it into a session.setAttribute("myProfileComments", myProfileComments);, then pass that attribute into the JSP page.
The JSP page will loop the arraylist.....<c:forEach myProfileComments.arraylistComments}" var="comments" >

 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
