Question

So im trying to do something that might not be possible. I want to iterate through something like this:

i is set as an iterator

<c:forEach begin="1" end="${total}" var="i">
   <td>${prod${i}.name}</td>
</c:forEach>

This Obviously doesnt work, but I think it portrays what im trying to do.

I want to concatenate a variable to another variable where i is what i want to concatenate to prod.name. Normally product name would be something like this ${prod1.name}. So i want to replace 1 with an iterator as it goes through the loop.

Im very new to JSP and EL type developer. So if im doing this completely wrong please tell me.

Thanks

Can’t be done. My advice is to restructure your code so that prod is an array or a collection, then use c:forEach to iterate over its elements.
