I have a List of objects which has the following attributes

public class ViewTestCasesBean {

private String testcaseName;
private String subject;
private String description;
private List<TestCaseDetailsBean> testList = new ArrayList<TestCaseDetailsBean>();

// GETTERS AND SETTERS SECTION.......///////

public String getTestcaseName() {
    return testcaseName;
}

public void setTestcaseName(String testcaseName) {
    this.testcaseName = testcaseName;
}

public String getSubject() {
    return subject;
}

public void setSubject(String subject) {
    this.subject = subject;
}

public String getDescription() {
    return description;
}

public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;
}

public List<TestCaseDetailsBean> getTestList() {
    return testList;
}

public void setTestList(List<TestCaseDetailsBean> testList) {
    this.testList = testList;
}

}

Now my action code is…

   public String execute() {


    detailsList = viewTestCasesTransaction.fetchTestCases();
    session.put("testcaseList", detailsList);

    if (detailsList.size() > 0) {

        return SUCCESS;
    }
    return ERROR;
}

Here detailsList is the List of the above object to be displayed in the display tag.

I tried with the following

 <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:c="urn:jsptld:http://java.sun.com/jstl/core">
<%@page import="org.apache.jasper.tagplugins.jstl.core.Import"%>

<html>
   <head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

 <title>Test Cases List</title>


  </head>
   <body>
<%session.getAttribute("testcaseList"); %>
<display:table name="detailsList" id="parent">
    <display:column property="testcaseName" />
    <display:column property="subject" />
    <display:column property="description" title="Comments" />

    <c:set var="nestedName"
        value="detailsList[${parent_rowNum -1}].testcaseList}" />
 <display:table  name="${nestedName}" id="child${parent_rowNum}" >
    <display:column title="Steps">
</display:table>
</display:column>

  <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.placement" value="top" />

        </display:table>

  </body>
</html>

But got the following error………

    Take care of following elements:

    1) <jsp:root ...> does not have closing tag

    2) Value expression has additional of curly brace and class attribute testcaseList not present <c:set var="nestedName" value="detailsList[${parent_rowNum -1}].testcaseList}" />, so change it to <c:set var="nestedName" value="detailsList[${parent_rowNum -1}].testList" />

    3) display:column tag of nested table missing property attribute <display:column title="Steps">

    4) Place doctype in the first line of file <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    5) This one is just a question, you’re retrieving session attribute but not assigning it. did this on purpose?

    Example from displaytag-examples-1.2.war -> example-nestedtables.jsp
