There are several good references on line for learning JSTL,
but I have found the actual spec itself to be great.
I'm assuming you want something like
<br>AAA/BBB/CCC<br>DDD/EEE/FFF
etc...
<c:forEach var="v" items="${vectors}">
<br>
<c:forEach var="seriesCat" items="${v}" varStatus="status">
<c:if test="${!status.first}">/</c:if>
<c:out value="$(seriesCat}"/>
</c:forEach>
</c:forEach>
To avoid the first <br>, use the same logic as the inner loop:
<c:forEach var="v" items="${vectors}" varStatus="outerStatus">
<c:if test="${!outerStatus.first}"><br></c:if>
<c:forEach var="seriesCat" items="${v}" varStatus="status">
<c:if test="${!status.first}">/</c:if>
<c:out value="$(seriesCat}"/>
</c:forEach>
</c:forEach>
should produce something like:
AAA/BBB/CCC<br>DDD/EEE/FFF
etc...
BTW, this code is untested, but it should work.
