How to display a list in a .JSP file?
Question
After an hour of solid research I still can't do this.
This is my Servlet code:
package com.fdm.ProjectWeb.RedirectServlets;
import java.awt.List;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.naming.spi.DirStateFactory.Result;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.ResultSupport;
import com.fdm.ProjectWeb.Controller.ValidateRegisterInputController;
import com.fdm.ProjectWeb.Model.OraclePullListOfUsers;
import com.fdm.ProjectWeb.Model.OracleUserManagement;
public class VerifyRedirect extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException, ServletException{
OraclePullListOfUsers pull = new OraclePullListOfUsers();
ResultSet rs = pull.unverifiedUsers();
List list = new List();
try {
while (rs.next()){
list.add(rs.getString(1));
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
req.setAttribute("list", list);
RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher("./WEB-INF/VerifyUser.jsp");
rd.forward(req, resp);
}
}
And this is my .JSP code:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Verify Users</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<c:forEach items="${list}" var="item">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${item}" /></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
<h2>Please enter the Username of the user you want to verify</h2>
<form action="loginform" method="POST">
<label>User To Verify: <input type="text" name="userToVerify" id="userToVerify" /></label><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</body>
The Result Set definitely has data in it as if I system.out.println in the while loop it shows all the right values.
And I get this error message:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in <forEach>
Any help would be appreciated!

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in <forEach>
This exception occur when your <c:forEach items> does not refer to an Object , that can be iterated upon. The Object should either be Iterable , a Map , or an array .
So clearly, your list attribute refers to the type which does not come under any of the above category. Though the type is actually a List , but not java.util.List .
Check your import statement:
import java.awt.List; // Here is the fault
It should be:
import java.util.List;
Also, you should use generic type List instead of raw type. Change:
List list = new List();
to:
List<String> list = new List<String>();
Also, it seems like you are doing the pre-processing task in doPost() method. Don't. doPost() is used for post-processing a request . You should use doget() method for pre-processing .
Move all your code in doPost() to doGet() method.

Change:
List list = new List();
To:
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
From
java.util.List;

try instantiating the list like this:
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
or if it does not help maybe supply the list as an array such as:
req.setAttribute("list", list.toArray());
