Re: How can I convert this to JSTL?

[Adam Hardy]

Can't you replace the whole scriptlet? c:forEach supports iterating over 
arrays as well, so you change the for loop into a c:forEach.

I'm not clear what you are trying to achieve with the javascript Array() 
 - what is the parameter meant to be? A sequence of values or an index? 
It looks like you should lose the quotes around the parameter.

How about:

<c:forEach items="${SPELL_CHECK_SUGGESTIONS_BEAN}"
       var="suggestionList"
       varStatus="count">
 suggestions[<c:out value="${count.index}"/>] =
    new Array("<c:out value='${suggestionList.key}'/>");
 <c:set var="suggs" value="${suggestionList.value}" />
 <c:forEach items="suggs" var="myVar1" varStatus="count2">
     suggestions[<c:out value="${count.index}"/>][<c:out 
value="${count2.index}"/>] =
       "<c:out value="${myVar1}"/>";
 </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

Interesting problem! Good luck,

Adam

Yea, I need to access the 'suggestionList' EL variable from within a
scriplet. I don't prefer to use scriplets in my JSPs but in this case I
don't think I can get around it because this loop that I'm in is creating
javascript.
Here's what the JSP currently looks like...

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var suggestions = new Array();
var replaceWin = null;
<c:forEach items="${SPELL_CHECK_SUGGESTIONS_BEAN}" var="suggestionList"
varStatus="count">
suggestions[<c:out value="${count.index}"/>] = new Array("<c:out
value='${suggestionList.key}'/>");
<% String[] suggs =
(String[])((java.util.Map.Entry)suggestionList).getValue();
int len = suggs.length;
for (int i=0; i < len; i++) {
%>
    suggestions[<c:out value="${count.index}"/>][<%= i+1 %>] = "<%= suggs[i]
%>";
<%
}
%>
</c:forEach>
....

</script>

This use to work when I had the <logic:iterate> Struts tag that defined the
suggestionList variable since that allowed scriplets to access it...
