I don't think you can pass parameters in JSTL, at least not yet. But you could, in your action, call getModelList passing the String you got from the request, and then when you forward to the JSP, iterate over that Collection.
I am not sure what you meant, Wendy, but, in case you meant that you cannot use parameters, then check out: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/indexedpropers.html .
If this is helpful, I use this with a BeanMap I whipped up:
public final class BeanMap
implements Map {
private Map map;
private BeanMap() {
}
public static Map getInstance(Map map) {
BeanMap bean = new BeanMap();
bean.setMap(map);
return bean;
}
public void setMap(Map map) {
this.map = map;
log.info(this.map);
}
public void setValue(Object key, Object value) {
map.put(key,value);
}
public Object getValue(Object key) {
return map.get(key);
}
// Forwarding, composition, methods
public void clear() { map.clear(); }
public boolean containsKey(Object key) { return map.containsKey(key);}
public boolean containsValue(Object value) { return map.containsValue(value); }
public Set entrySet() { return map.entrySet(); }
public boolean equals(Object object) { return map.equals(object); }
public Object get(Object key) { return map.get(key); }
public int hashCode() { return map.hashCode(); }
public boolean isEmpty() { return map.isEmpty(); }
public Set keySet() { return map.keySet(); }
public Object put(Object key, Object value) { return map.put(key,value); }
public void putAll(Map map) { map.putAll(map); }
public Object remove(Object key) { return map.remove(key); }
public int size() { return map.size(); }
public Collection values() { return map.values(); }
public String toString() { return map.toString(); }
}///;-)
Bye 'd bye,
