Dynamic vars in c:set

[Dylan MacDonald]

Hi -

I was wondering whether it was possible to set the var in the c:set tag
dynamically?  For example, within my forEach tags I want to build a
list of page variables dynamically based on the index (or the varStatus
count) of the loop:





which I can then access in the page as variable1, variable2, etc.  I
assumed this was alright since I am using EL within the var attribute,
but alas it doesn't seem to work.  Any ideas or workarounds?

Thanks,

Dylan MacDonald

You can't gensym name-from-attribute's in JSP. The more important question 
is why you think it is necessary. In other words, even if you created 
variable1, ... ,variableN in pageContext, you'd still want to "run a loop" 
through them to do something else. You should be able to do without 
gensym, whatever it is you are doing.
