Hello,
unfortunately, the value attribute of h:outputText does not accept any
rtexpressions.
In jsp 2.1 and if h:outputText would allow any expression you could write this:
<f:view>
<h:form>
<c:forEach items="${employeeBacking.employees}" var="emp"
varStatus="status" >
<h:outputText value="#{employeeBacking.employees[${status.index}]}"
/>
</c:forEach>
</h:form>
</f:view>
In tobago you can write this:
<f:view>
<t:page>
<c:forEach items="${employeeBacking.employees}" var="emp"
varStatus="status" >
<t:out value="#{employeeBacking.employees[${status.index}]}" />
</c:forEach>
</t:page>
</f:view>
you can find a working example at

Unfortunately, JSP EL and JSF EL don't play nicely together. This will
be fixed in JSF 1.2 with the Unified EL. In the meantime, here's a hack
that should work:
<%-- Step 1: Use a non-displayed dataTable to pull userList into request
--%>
<h:dataTable var="employee" value="#{employeeBacking.employee}"
style="display:none"/>
<c:forEach items="${employeeBacking.employees}" var="emp"
varStatus="status">
<c:out value="${status.index}"/><br/>
</c:forEach
You could also use an h:dataTable to do the iteration.
Hope this helps,
Matt

I understand the below won't work as is without the backing bean put
in scope with a useBean construct...but I'm more curious why I can not
get c:out to evaluate (or really I should also just be able to use
${..} without the c:out since using tomcat5). What I end up getting is
the literal text ${status.index} being displayed. I've tried with
commons-el.jar and without and the same result:(
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<c:forEach items="${employeeBacking.employees}" var="emp"
varStatus="status">
<c:out value="${status.index}"/><br/>
</c:forEach>
</h:form>
</f:view>
