Iterating through a List Object in JSP

by

Before teaching yourself Spring and Struts, you should probably dive a little deeper into the Java language. Output like this

org.classes.database.Employee@d9b02

is the result of the Object#toString() method which all objects inherit from the Object class, the superclass of all classes in Java.

The List sub classes implement this by iterating over all the elements and calling toString() on those. It seems, however, that you haven’t implemented (overriden) the method in your Employee class.

Your JSTL here

<c:forEach items="${eList}" var="employee">
    <tr>
        <td>Employee ID: <c:out value="${employee.eid}"/></td>
        <td>Employee Pass: <c:out value="${employee.ename}"/></td>  
    </tr>
</c:forEach>

is fine except for the fact that you don’t have a page, request, session, or application scoped attribute named eList.

You need to add it

<% List eList = (List)session.getAttribute("empList");
   request.setAttribute("eList", eList);
%>

Or use the attribute empList in the forEach.

<c:forEach items="${empList}" var="employee">
    <tr>
        <td>Employee ID: <c:out value="${employee.eid}"/></td>
        <td>Employee Pass: <c:out value="${employee.ename}"/></td>  
    </tr>
</c:forEach>
