Hi, thanks SO much for your prompt replies! I tried all of your solutions: <c:forEach items="${tablesList}" var="table"> <% Enumeration<String> attributes = request.getAttributeNames(); for(String attribute : attributes) { out.println(attribute + ": " + request.getAttribute(attribute) + "<br/>\n"); }%> <display:table name="table"> </display:table> <br> </c:forEach>
doesn't work, I get error "Can only iterate over an array or an instance of Java.lang.iterable" and as I don't know this type I didn't go further in trying but I will (Enumeration - is it from old Java versions? I only know enum) Anyway I found the way to display the request attributes names: there are both tablesList and table. <c:forEach items="${tablesList}" var="table"> <display:table name="table"> </display:table> <br> </c:forEach> This one displays four time the same table (the last list) Same result I get inserting <c:set var="table" value="${tablesList}" /> inside the forEach tag. I donno y?? About the question if set is in the request or in the session - you can specify the scope like this: <c:set var="table" value="${tablesList}" scope="page"/> but same result with both scope= session, scope= page, scope= application. Using scope=request u get tables filled with the word "false" :-) Maybe it depends from the types of lists I'm using? I have an ArrayList, so I will now try with a collection. About this solution: <c:forEach items="${tablesList}" var="table"> <display:table name="${table[index]}"> </display:table> <br> </c:forEach> where am I supposed to declare the "index" variable? again using scripts?
