af:forEach problems

Question

Hi,
I have a jspx page and i'm trying to display a list of data in a numbe rof <af:outputText value="outputText1"/> tags.
my jspx page is called page1.jspx and my backing bean is page1.java.
i have two arraylists defined as follows:
private ArrayList<String> Titles = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<String> Person = new ArrayList<String>();
and i build a list of values from a View Object as follows:
public page1() {
try {
AppModuleImpl am =
(AppModuleImpl)getApplicationModuleForDataControl("AppModuleDataControl");
ViewObjectImpl view = (ViewObjectImpl)am.getAdmPeopleView1();
view.executeQuery();
while (view.hasNext()) {
Row emp = view.next();
String title;
String person_code;
Titles.add((String) emp.getAttribute("TITLE"));
Person.add((String) emp.getAttribute("PERSON_CODE"));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error In page1.java backing bean - " +
e.getMessage());
I am now completely lost as to how to use the ForEach tag to print out the title, everything i try exceptions. Could anyone help me out?
Ultimately my goal is to have a Collection which contains row data which can be used to build up a list of image links dynamically . e.g.
image1(links to page A) image2(links to page B) image3(Links to page C)
image4(links to page D) images5(links to page E) etc.
but i wanted to start of simple and understand the for each ADF tag!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
the simplest example I can give is:
Managed Bean:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class AfForEachtestbean {
    List<String> _list = new ArrayList<String>();
    public AfForEachtestbean() {
        if (_list.isEmpty()){
            _list.add("one");
            _list.add("two");
            _list.add("three");
            _list.add("four");
            _list.add("five");
    public void setList(List<String> list) {
        this._list = list;
    public List<String> getList() {
        return _list;
