How to create a table using JSTL?

I have a String array. I want to create a table using the strings, their postion and a radio button for each row. For example:

String a="abc&def&ghi&";
String b[]=a.split("&");

Using the string array b[] I want my page to display a table like this:

o --> radio button

--------------------
| num  | items     |
--------------------
| o 0  |  abc      |
--------------------
| o 1  |  def      |
--------------------
| o 2  |  ghi      |
--------------------

I tried using a for loop in a scriplet to generate the rows but if I do so, I cannot get the value of a particular radio button.

Can someone give me some idea on how to achieve this with JSTL or other methods?

Solution

  • I think this is what you want...

    <%! int i = 0; %>
<c:forEach var="element" items="${string_array}">
    <tr>
        <td><input type="radio"  value="<%= i++ %>" name="item_radio">${element}   </td>    
    </tr>               
</c:forEach>
