Jstl / jsp - iterate over a vector of beans

I have a vector of beans that contains the information I want to display in my jsp page. I am currently just using Java standard expressions to display this, I want to explore using jstl to separate concerns. Is this possible and how? I've been googling, but I can't find anything.

I think what you are looking for is <c: foreach> .

for example, printing the value of the myInt property on instances of MyClass (defined below):

<c:foreach items="${vectors name}" var="pos" >
       <!-- print the value of myInt for each position of the array. 
            Method getMyInt() must exist in pos object.-->
       <c:out value="${pos.myInt}"/>

       <!-- print the value of myInt for each composed instance.
            Method getRelatedInstance() must exist in pos object.  -->
       <c:out value="${pos.relatedInstance.myInt}"/>
</c:foreach>


where vector name is the name of the vector, for example after execution

Let's assume you have a class called myClass.

public class MyClass{
   private MyClass relatedInstance;     
   //some members and methods

   public int getMyInt(){
     //return something
   }

   public MyClass getRelatedInstance(){
     return this.relatedInstance;
}

List<myClass> my_vector = getFilledList();
request.setAttribute("vectors name",my_vector)

Spend using Tom's example, here's something more specific:

<c:foreach items="${myList}" var="myItem">
  <c:out value="${myItem.someProperty}"/>
</c:foreach>


Where "myList" is the request attribute that contains your vector.

A common mistake is to forget $ {} around $ {myList} - if you do, JSTL will not throw an error, it will just generate a list for you with one element, the string "myList" ".
