forEach tag

[springbaby]

Can some one tell me how to write this without the scriptlets .. using forEach tag ? variable firstDay should be read from the formbackingObject ..

				<%	
				for (int i = 0; i < firstDay ; i++) {
					     if (i==0){ %>
					      <td align='center' width='10%' valign='top' bgcolor="${calDisplayData.noDaysColor}">
						      &nbsp;
					      </td>			
					     <%} else {  %>
							<td align='center' width='10%' valign='top' bgcolor="">&nbsp;</td>
						<% } 
				  	}
				%>
			<%

Try this...Need to make sure your are using the JstlView

<c:forEach var="x" begin="0" end="${firstDay}" step="1" varStatus="status">
 
<c:if test="${status.first}">
<td align='center' width='10%' valign='top' bgcolor="${calDisplayData.noDaysColor}">
					      &nbsp;
					      </td>			
</c:if>
<c:if test="${!status.first}">
  <td align='center' width='10%' valign='top' bgcolor="">&nbsp;</td>
</c:if> 
</c:forEach>

My Jstl is a little rough, but I think this should do trick...

Can do a <c:out value="${firstDay}"/> to make sure that your first day value is making it to your jstl tag(s)

Why should i use JSTLView ?

[cwash5]

Check out this link from the doc...

http://static.springframework.org/sp....html#view-jsp

Specifically this section.

14.2.2. 'Plain-old' JSPs versus JSTL

When using the Java Standard Tag Library you must use a special view class, the JstlView, as JSTL needs some preparation before things such as the i18N features will work.

It worked :-) Thank You

One more question .

How do i iterate through nested list using the forEach tag ..

For example i have a list which contains object of type list .. the inside list contains the object of type XXXXXX .. now in my jsp i want iterate through the first list .. get the list inside it ... Iterate through the second list .. get the projects from it ..

Thank You

If I understand you correctly I believe you would do this.

<c:forEach var="secondList" items="${firstList}">
  <c:forEach var="secondList_item" items="${secondList}">
    <c:out value="${secondList_item}"/>
   </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

Where firstList is a list that contains another list (secondList) and secondList contains the objects you want.

but my issue is i dont want to iterate through the list completely . i want to do stop at a certain number ..
Here is what i am trying to do in scriptlet

			for (int j = firstDay; j < 7; j++) {
      			List project = (List)releaseList.get(day);
			    if (project != null && project.size() != 0) {
       				 out.println("<td width='10%' align='right' valign='top' bgcolor='"+ CalendarUtil.getWeekEndColor(year, month-1, day+1) + "'><table>");
  			         out.println("<tr width='100%'><td align='right' width='100%' valign='top'><b>"+ (day+1) + "</b></td></tr>");			        
    			     for (int k = 0; project != null && k < project.size(); k++) {
					 	ReleaseScheduleData pi =(ReleaseScheduleData)project.get(k);
			            if (pi.getReleaseType().equalsIgnoreCase("ecm freeze")) {
			                out.println("<tr width='100%' align='left'><td width='100%' bgcolor='"
            		        + pi.getBackGrndColor() + "'><font color='#FF0000'>&nbsp;&nbsp;"
                    		+ pi.getReleaseName() + "&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></td></tr>");
		              } else if (pi.getReleaseType().equalsIgnoreCase("content only freeze") || pi.getReleaseType().equalsIgnoreCase("combo freeze")
        			      || pi.getReleaseType().equalsIgnoreCase("code only freeze")) {
			                out.println("<tr width='100%' align='left'><td width='100%' bgcolor='"
            		        + pi.getBackGrndColor() + "'><font color='#FF0000'>&nbsp;&nbsp;"
                    		+ pi.getReleaseName() + "&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></td></tr>");
		              } else if (pi.getReleaseType().equalsIgnoreCase("Weekly Maintenance")) {
		                out.println("<tr width='100%' align='left'><td width='100%' bgcolor='"
        	            + pi.getBackGrndColor() + "'><font color='#FF0000'>&nbsp;&nbsp;"
            	        + pi.getReleaseName() + "&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></td></tr>");
              		}
        		}
       	 		out.println("</table></td>");
      		} else {
		        out.println("<td width='10%' align='right' valign='top' bgcolor='"+ CalendarUtil.getWeekEndColor(year, month-1, day+1) + "'><b>" + (day + 1) + "</b></td>");
      		}

And also i have to keep track of the index where i stopped the iteration .. because i have to start the next iteration from there ...

[cwash5]

Pretty sure you can do this....

<c:forEach var="project" items="${releaseList}" start="${firstDay}" stop="7" step="1" varStatus="status">
  <c:forEach var="pi" items="${project}">
    <c:out value="${pi}"/>
   </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>

The default forEach assumes start=0, stop=collection.size() and step=1

To keep track of the index use the status variable (status.count). if you need this outside the scope of your for loop I believe you need to set it to a jstl variable.

<c:set var="name1" scope="page">
        line 1
        line 2
    </c:set>

Hopefully this works.

Okay i got it ..

but i have this issue now

<c:forEach begin = "0" end = "7" items="${calDisplayData.projectList}" var="secondList">
<c:if test="${fn:length(secondList) > 0}" >
<td width='10%' align='right' valign='top' 
bgcolor=CalendarUtil.getWeekEndColor(year, month-1, day+1) >>
</td>
</c:forEach>

here bgcolor=CalendarUtil.getWeekEndColor(year, month-1, day+1) CalendarUtil is a java util class , year and month should be read from the command bean and day is the index

How do i make this call to java ?? i need the syntax ..
