Extracting values from JSTL forEach

[Amit Malhotra]

I have a situation in which I need to populate a javascript array with certain values. This array will then be the input to an Ajax (Dojo) table model. I'm having trouble figuring out how I can populate this array. What I would want is:

var a = new Array();

<core:forEach items="${companies}" var="company">
//populate my array with company.id, company.symbol, and company.name
</core:forEach>

I've tried several options to obtain company.symbol etc and put them into my array (or any javascript variable), but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

but nothing seems to work.

This is not a useful description of the error.

Do the elements in the array have the appropriate property accessors defined?
