I do something similar in my code, and it works.
It does look like it's not figuring out what type the menuItem is though....

And I think the tutorial is agreeing with you:
The forEach tag allows you to iterate over a collection of objects. You specify
the collection via the items attribute, and the current item is available
through a scope variable named by the item attribute.
A large number of collection types are supported by forEach, including all
implementations of java.util.Collection and java.util.Map. If the items
attribute is of type java.util.Map, then the current item will be of type
java.util.Map.Entry, which has the following properties:
* key - the key under which the item is stored in the underlying Map
* value - the value that corresponds to the key
Arrays of objects as well as arrays of primitive types (for example, int) are
also supported. For arrays of primitive types, the current item for the
iteration is automatically wrapped with its standard wrapper class (for
example, Integer for int, Float for float, and so on).
Implementations of java.util.Iterator and java.util.Enumeration are supported
but these must be used with caution. Iterator and Enumeration objects are not
resettable so they should not be used within more than one iteration tag.
Finally, java.lang.String objects can be iterated over if the string contains a
list of comma separated values (for example:
Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday).
Here's the shopping cart iteration from the previous section with the forEach
tag:
<c:forEach var="item" items="${sessionScope.cart.items}">
...
<tr>
<td align="right" bgcolor="#ffffff">
${item.quantity}
</td>
...
</c:forEach>
The forTokens tag is used to iterate over a collection of tokens separated by a
delimiter.
