I have a HashMap that when I store it to the Session, and ask EL to display it, it works great.
Thus ${yearlycits} converts to this:

{1989=[4799156_1989-01-17], 1998=[5715314_1998-02-03, 5724424_1998-03-03], 1999=[5960411_1999-09-28, 5987140_1999-11-16]}

As you can see, the keys are Long, and the value is a list of String. You can notice, if you look closely, that the keys are not consecutive, they are really just

{1989, 1998, 1999}

What I want to do is get the keySet so I can then do a for-loop for each key value, get the list of Strings, and process them.

${yearlycits.keySet}

the view .jsp blows up:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:432)

What am I doing wrong? I think I'm approaching it incorrectly.

Thanks
Pat

You can iterate over the Map and each iteration will be an instance of Map.Entry from which you can get they key and the value.
