RE: Var for c:forEach loop is always null

  Try this:

<%
	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");
	
      // putting the variable in the request scope
	request.setAttribute("mySet",mySet);
   
      // could put it in the page scope like this
      pageContext.setAttribute( "list", vList );
%>	

<%-- normally str would be set in the page scope, so specify the request
scope --%>
<c:forEach var="str" items="${requestScope.mySet}" scope="request">

  <%-- here, you're looking for the variable "str" in the request scope
--%>
  <% String str = (String)request.getAttribute("str"); %>
	<p>
	<%= str %>
</c:forEach>

Subject: Var for c:forEach loop is always null


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:

<%@page language="java" %>
<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@taglib 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
