Oh, if it's just a formatting issue, it won't. Then, as someone else
said, you can use <c:set> to set a scoped variable for each row, and then
<c:if> to check the current row against the last one. E.g.,
<c:forEach ...>
<c:if test="${current != last}">
Print group name
</c:if>
Print item value
<c:set var="last" value="${current}">
</c:forEach>
