CategoryModel.java

public CategoryModel() {
    ArrayList<CategoryAction> categoryList = new ArrayList<CategoryAction>();
    CategoryAction categoryBean = new CategoryAction();
 
    // Connecting to db here
    // querying the db here
    if (objRS.next()) {
        objRS.beforeFirst();
        while ( objRS.next() ) {
            CategoryAction cBean = new CategoryAction();
            cBean.setCategoryName(objRS.getString("categoryName"));
            cBean.setSubcategoryDescr(generateSubcategoryDescr(objRS.getInt("categoryId")));
            categoryList.add(cBean);
 
        }
    }
 
    request.setAttribute("categoryInfoItr", categoryList);
}
 
 
private StringBuffer generateSubcategoryDescr(int categoryId) {
    StringBuffer subcategoryDescr = new StringBuffer();
    // Connecting to db here
    // querying the db here
    
    if (objRS1.next()) {
        for ( int i=0; i < 5; i++ ) {
            objRS.next();
            subcategoryDescr.append("<a href=\"");
            subcategoryDescr.append(objRS.getString("categoryUrl"));
            subcategoryDescr.append("\">");
            subcategoryDescr.append(objRS.getString("categoryName"))
            subcategoryDescr.append("</a>, "));
        }
    }
    return (subcategoryDescr);
}

CategoryAction.java

category.jsp

The thing is everything ok, and the array of bean is generated correctly and with forEach item i can iterate through the array, and show them. But the ${item.subcategoryDescr} is written exactly as the code above on the screen. The <A> Tag is not interpreted into the Html, in order to show the result. the page is like this:

which should be like :

I put some html tag in bean object, and try to show them on the page, which it worked correctly. but for the Array Object, and forEach tag, it's not work correctly?

Could you see where I was doing something wrong?
