Question

Hi I am using following code to retrieve the values of a list but it does not show anything.
My class code is:

    private List MyList;
    public List getMyList() {
            System.out.println("MyList:"+MyList.get(0).toString());
            return MyList;
    }

    public void setMyList(List MyList) {
            this.MyList = MyList;
    }

My jsp:

 <c:forEach var="item" items="${MyList}">
   <div>${item}</div>
 </c:forEach>

Result in console : MyList:Swimming

but no result in browser !!!!

Answer 1

Since jstl expressions will be evaluated by the naming convention for getters/setters, you have to use the following inside your jsp:

<c:forEach var="item" items="${myList}">
   <div>${item}</div>
 </c:forEach>

${myList} will be evalutated to getMyList().
