I would have thought that you are going to have to try and read the first element of the Collection prior to the iterate tag, and store the first element in the page context so that you can use its name and desc attributes to populate the table caption. You could try with tags but I would use a scriptlet to start with. Don't forget to ensure that the Vector is not empty before reading the first element.

Hi, Need a hint on how to do the following: I have a bean which is a vector of items. Each item object has a name, description price etc. When the user selects an item I create this vector and pass it to a page which iterates through the vector and creates a table. Something like: name desc price storeroom buyer The table I get has the same data for the first two rows. I want to take out those first two rows and place them into the table caption. Without iterating through the vector how can I get the name and desc property of the first item. That data is going to be the same for all the other items in the vector. Thanks for any help.
