Can c:foreach have two vaiables like i, j in the for loop?

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to do the following iteration: (this is just a fragment)
<c:forEach items="${cemeta.FRSMAPPINGs}" var="frsmapping" items="${scripts}" var="st">
<tr>
<td>  <c:out value="${frsmapping.valuescript}"/> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${st}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:foreach>it doesn't recognize the first variable (in this case cemeta.FRSMAPPING). I tried it just for the fist variable, or only for the second variable. I don't know why it doesn't work for both.
I changed the order of variables so it became:
<c:forEach items="${scripts}" var="st" items="${cemeta.FRSMAPPINGs}" var="frsmapping" >at this time the first variable also (this time st) is not recognized.
Plz tell me how to make a declation of the two variables using JSTL without using scriptlet thing.
Bye

No, you can't specify multiple collections for a forEach tag.
If you have parallel arrays like this, the best would be to use a varStatus variable:
<c:forEach var="frsmapping" items="${cemeta.FRSMAPPINGs}" varStatus="status">
  <tr><td><c:out value="${frsmapping.valuescript}"/></td></tr>
  <tr><td><c:out value="${scripts[status.index]}"/></td></tr>
</c:forEach>This uses the index of the iterator to look up the value in the parallel array.
Hope this helps,
