Var for c:forEach loop is always null

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

According to the c:forEach doc, the var attribute of the
c:forEach tag has nested visibility.

What does that mean?  

I am trying to access the current object of the iteration
and always getting null.

Here is an example:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED] language="java" %>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] import="java.util.*" %>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>

<%
        HashSet<String> mySet = new HashSet<String>();
        mySet.add("Str1");
        mySet.add("Str2");
        mySet.add("Str3");
        mySet.add("Str4");
        mySet.add("Str5");
        mySet.add("Str6");
        mySet.add("Str7");
        
        request.setAttribute("mySet",mySet);
%>      

<c:forEach var="str" items="${mySet}">
  <% String str = (String)request.getAttribute("str"); %>
        <p>
        <%= str %>
</c:forEach>

The value of str is always null.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
        Neil
