Using Collections within JSP and beans

Question

Hi I have a bean setup that contains a collection (linkedList of objects)
A servlet sets up all the information and forwards to a jsp page
ResourceInformation resourceInfo = new ResourceInformation();
         resourceInfo.setResourceList(list);
         request.setAttribute("resourceInformation",resourceInfo);
         RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(address);
         dispatcher.forward(request,response);My question is what is the prefered way of iterating through this collection from the jsp page
as I havent been able to find any examples of JSP pages utilising collections
Thanks a lot

The JSTL (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/) contains a <c:forEach> tag you can use to iterate collections - e.g:
<c:forEach var="resource" items="${requestScope.resourceInformation.resourceList}">
  <tr>
    <td>${resource.name}</td>
  </tr>
</c:forEach>
