Nested C:forEach varStatus ??

[Rajesh Vijaya]

i have two string arrays

in servlet

String [] s1 = {"A","B","C"};
String [] s2= {"X","Y","Z"};

java.util.List slist = new java.util.ArrayList
slist.add(s1);
slist.add(s2);
request.setAttribute("slist",slist);

Now i forward the request to a jsp


in Jsp

I'm using C:forEach tag.... i want the output to be

1 A
2 B
3 C
4 X
5 Y
6 Z

how i can use the varStatus to get the total count !!!

Dude,

To get the desired output as u have mentioned u'll have to nest two <c:forEach> tags.

<c:forEach var="outer" items="${slist}" >
<c:forEach var="inner" items="${outer}" varStatus="num">
Count is ${num.count} Item is ${inner}
<BR>
</c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

hth.
Humble reqst to Guys to pls address the query i posted.

Hey man ...Apologies for missing out on the o/p u desired .
In your case you wud need to have the old "scripting along with JSTL

[Christophe Verré]

Not sure you can, because I think that you'll need to keep track of the size of the lists you've already printed.
Why don't you use a different variable ?

  
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
 
<c:set var="count" value="1"/>
<c:forEach items="${slist}" var="val" varStatus="statusOuter">
<c:forEach items="${val}" var="subval" varStatus="statusInner">
${count} ${subval}<br>
<c:set var="count" value="${count+1}"/>
</c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

thanks for the code ...Satau

since there is relationship between items of the inner Foreach and the var of the outer Foreach i thought there might be relationshiop between their varStatus also.....
