In both JSTL 1.1 and 1.0 specifications nothing is mentioned about nested x:forEach loops where the inner x:forEach iterates over the parsed results of a *different* xml file.
Since this scenario is not officially mentioned anywhere, I can't really tell for sure if the set-up you have is supposed to work or not. I didn't test it with JSTL 1.0, but since you say it worked in JSTL 1.0 I can't see why it shouldn't work with 1.1. It is probably a bug in JSTL 1.1. I think this is where one could file a bug/ feature request: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/#Bugs I also searched on ways to combine two different XML files into one with XSLT, it is possible on the command line with a parser like Saxon, but I couldn't find ways to do it programatically at least with XSLT 1.0 which is supported by the most recent version of Xalan which is used by JSTL. But you can check with a XSLT mailing list if you want to take that approach. Another approach would be to generate a merged XML file instead of two separate XML files. -Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: Sébastien Brodeur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tag Libraries Users List <taglibs-user@jakarta.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 11:06:29 PM Subject: Re: Problem when a use a x:forEach into another x:forEach This code work perflectly in JSTL 1.0.
