Process multiple select form element in JSTL

Question

I am trying to retrieve the values from a multiple select dropdown. From searching the forums, I now know that I need to use getParameterValues instead of getParameter in JSP. However, how would like to do this in JSTL with the core tags? Here is the code I now have (but it only prints the first element selected from the multiple select.
    <c:forEach var="map_entry" items="${param}">
      <strong><c:out value="${map_entry.key}"/></strong>
      <c:out value="${map_entry.value}"/><br />
      <c:forEach var='stuff' items='${map_entry.value}'>
        <c:out value='${stuff}'/><br /><br />
      </c:forEach>
    </c:forEach>Notice the second foreach loop doesn't work (it only prints the first value). Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

use something like this:
<c:forEach var="elem" items="${paramValues.multipleSelect}">
<c:out value="${elem}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the key is "paramValues" instead of "param"
