Counter using Struts Taglibs

[Vinay]

Hi All,
    How can I define counters using Struts EL tag libraries for printing purposes in 
JSP pages



Here is an example

<table border="1">
 <c:forEach var="transid" items="${trans.transactions}">
 <tr>
  <td><c:out value="${transid.acctno}"/></td>
  <td><c:out value="${transid.testcode}"/></td>

if($transid.testcode=="ts"  ) tscount=tscount+1;   

  <td><c:out value="${transid.srcfac}"/></td>
   <td><c:out value="${transid.dateofservice}"/></td>
   <td><c:out value="${transid.htkey}"/></td>

 </tr>
 </c:forEach>
 
</table>

In the above code i would like to print the total and number of iterations the for 
loop performed.

I would also like to do some condition to inside the for loop to print another 
specific counter

like 
eg:--
    if($transid.testcode=="ts"  ) tscount=tscount+1;   



I am novice and  have recently started using these tag libraries.Is there a link or 
web site which has tutorials on how to use the tag libraries.



Any help appreciated

thanks
