How can I convert this to JSTL?
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this one.... I'm almost finished
converting the entire app :-)
I have a <c:forEach> loop and within the loop I have a scriptlet. Now I'm
aware that JSTL variables are *not* visible within scriptlets. So how would
I convert the following below... 'suggestionList' is the variable that I'm
having trouble with.
<c:forEach items="${SPELL_CHECK_SUGGESTIONS_BEAN}" var="suggestionList">
<% String[] suggs =
(String[])((java.util.Map.Entry)suggestionList).getValue();
....
%>
</c:forEach>

Adam,
JSP 2.0 introduces the notion of functions within EL, and in step with
that release, JSTL 1.1 will include some standard functions including
size. There are early releases like Tomcat 5.0 and Resin 3.0 that give
you some features of JSP 2.0, although I haven't tried either.
Hopefully the specs will get finalized to get these standards out there
soon.

This has been on the list before I think. The recommended solution appears
to be to replace your List class with a ListBean which contains a getSize
method. Would probably be useful if Taglib project could have these
classes available for download. Anyone implemented these and feel like
offering them up?
Another option is to have a tag to get it. Maybe Xephyrus could add it to
their datastruct taglib:

Hi Billy,
I don't know about this one. Maybe someone more guru-like will step up
with an answer 8-)
I'm not quite sure why EL doesn't like this but I think it's because the
List class is not a javabean - presumably EL looks for getSize() rather
than the actual size(), but that doesn't explain why it's complaining
about an integer.

How to get the size of a java.util.List object in EL?
Posted by Billy Bacon <bi...@thirty3.net>.
I need to get the size (as an int) of a java.util.List I have. The following
doesn't work....
<c:out value="Size = ${browseForm.map.colInfoList.size}"/>
It gives me the following exception...
ServletException in:/jsp/browseQueueBody.jsp] An error occurred while
evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "Size =
${browseForm.map.colInfoList.size}": The "." operator was supplied with an
index value of type "java.lang.String" to be applied to a List or array, but
that value cannot be converted to an integer. (null)'
Does anyone know how I could get the size of the List?

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

Re: How can I convert this to JSTL?
Posted by Billy Bacon <bi...@thirty3.net>.
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...
Re: How can I convert this to JSTL?
Posted by Adam Hardy <ah...@cyberspaceroad.com>.
<c:set var="suggsArray" value="${suggestionList.value}"/>
or were you really asking how you can access an EL variable in a scriplet?
Sorry but I'm off to bed now anyway.
