Help with JSTL...

[Jacob Wilson <st...@yahoo.com>]

Hi.
 
I am developing a new application in Struts and just wanted to see how to implement JSTL in my jsps... I am trying to iterate a loop using a jstl tag... I am specifying a collection object in the items attribute of the iterator action. I get this following error...
 
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An error occurred while evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "${actual.name}": Unable to find a value for "name" in object of class "java.lang.String" using operator "." (null)
 
My jsp goes something like this...
 
<table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="748">     
 <tr bgcolor="#999999">       
  <th bgcolor="#cccccc" class="blueLink" align="center" width="">User Name</th>
  <th bgcolor="#cccccc" class="blueLink" align="center" width="">Password</th>           
 </tr>    
 <c:forEach var="actual" items="${loginForm.clientCollection}">
  <tr bgcolor="#9EC6FF">
   <td class="content" align="left">
    <c:out value="${actual.name}"/><br>
   </td>
   <td class="content" align="left">
    <c:out value="${actual.password}"/><br>
   </td>              
  </tr>
 </c:forEach>
</table> 
 
where clientCollection is a collection from the form bean...
 
>From the LoginAction, I am calling a method in businessBean which returns a arraylist that I had already set it in the formBean collection...
 
My LoginAction is something like this...
 
public class LoginAction extends Action {
 BusinessBean businessBean = null;
 String name = null;
 String password = null;
 
 public RegisterResourcesAction() {
  super();
 }  
 
 public ActionForward execute(
  ActionMapping mapping,
  ActionForm form,
  HttpServletRequest request,
  HttpServletResponse response)
  throws Exception {
  ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
  ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();
  LoginForm loginForm = (LoginForm) form;
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);  
  
  name = loginForm.getClient().getName();
  password = loginForm.getClient().getPassword();
  businessBean = new BusinessBean();
    
  ArrayList aList = firstBean.exeQuery(name, password);
  loginForm.setClientCollection(aList);
   
  forward = mapping.findForward("success");
  return (forward);
   
  }   
    
}

If anybody out there could help, it would be great... Thanks in advance...
