services.add(rsf);
}

request.setAttribute("SERVICES",services);

Firstly. "ur" is not a word. Please use real words such as "your" when posting.

Secondly, these are the four most useless words on earth. How is it not working.

As a convention, scoped variables follow the same naming conventions as Java variables, so naming the scoped variable "services" will make your code easier to follow for all.

Finally, how are you traversing from the servlet to the JSP? That's the most important aspect of your code and you left it out.

Thanks for your suggestion
i am very new to this group
next, the context is:

i am using struts for my project.just because i have some comparisons that's why i go for JSTL.
i am retrieving values from database and putting each row values in a FormBean then adding that form bean to ArrayList. Finally i place this ArrayList in request object.
i want to iterate over this ArrayList and display each row in a table row

now let me know how can i do this.

warm regards
Mallik

Hi Mallik

Lets make it simple

-->Retrieve all the values from the db(as you already done)
-->Set the list to the formbean
-->In the jsp iterate the list as follows

<c:forEach items="${formBeanName.listPropertyName}" var="serviceId">
</c:forEach>

Since this becoming about Struts, moved to the Struts forum.

<c:forEach items="${SERVICES}" var="serviceId" >
<tr>
<td class="rightsubheading1" colspan="2"></td>
<td class="rightsubheading1" colspan="2"><c:out value="${serviceId}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>



The problem with the above code is that in this case "serviceId" represents the entire JavaBean. When you try to display it with the <c:out> tag, you're getting the result of the toString() method, which if you haven't overridden it, shows you the Java object Id, which doesn't look pretty and doesn't mean a whole lot in this context. You can display the properties of the bean by using dot notation. Here's a modified version of the above that should work:

If you need to provide a text box where the user's can edit the description field, then you need to look into indexed properties. You can search this forum or check the entry in this forum's FAQ section.
