Re: Displaying simple read-only tabular data

[Julien Martin]

Thanks Bruno Aranda, The only thing is that I want to display a HashMap and not a List (I should have mentioned that in my email) and I don't want to render it as a table. This is why I was using jstl. Any other clue?

I think what you are looking for is the dataTable component. You can use something like this: <h:dataTable value="#{AlbumsAction.myList}" var="item">    <h:column>      <h:outputText value="#{item}"/>   </h:column> </dataTable> Also, I would put the list populating code in the constructor of the bean and not in the setter method. Hope this helps, Bruno 2005/5/24, Julien Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, I am relatively new to JSF and I am stuck on a basic problem. I want a jsp page to diplay simple read-only tabular data. I just want the index.jsp page to retrieve data from a bean without going through an action nor to have any navigation rule associated to it. I want the jsp to be roughly as follows (using the forEach tag): [code] <c:forEach items="${AlbumsAction.myList}" var="item"> <c:out value="${item}"/> </c:forEach> [/code] My bean would be roughly as follows: [code] package com.pedrolo.adriana.albums; public class AlbumsAction { private List myList; public List getMyList() { myList = new ArrayList(); myList.add("toto"); myList.add("titi"); return myList; } public void setMyList(List myList) { this.myList = myList; } } [/code] In addition I have the following in the DD: [code] <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>AlbumsAction</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>com.pedrolo.adriana.albums.AlbumsAction </managed-bean-cl ass> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean> [/code] This does not seem to work. Can anyone help please?? Thanks in advance, Julien.
