unable to display tree in jsp using recursion in JSTL

Question

I am having a class MemberSale which has List of MemberSales Object. My requirement is. i want to create jsp file based on object.

I am getting SalesMember Object from Database and based on the list i need to view it in jsp. For this i have use custom JSTL lib.

the code that i have tried is, but i am not getting expected output

public class SalesPointTagLibHandler extends TagSupport {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private SalesMember salesMember;

    @Override
    public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
        JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut();
        displaySaleMember(out, salesMember,1);

        return SKIP_BODY;
    }

    public void displaySaleMember(JspWriter out, SalesMember salesMember,int n) {
        try {
            List<SalesMember> children = salesMember.getChildren();
            if (salesMember.getParent() == null) {
                String entryString = "<div id=\"wrapper\"><span class=\"label\">" + salesMember.getName() + "</span>";
                String lvString = "<div class=\"branch lv"+n+"\">";
                System.out.println(entryString);
                System.out.println(lvString);
                out.println(entryString);
                out.println(lvString);
                n=n+1;
            }
            else if((children==null ||children.isEmpty()) && salesMember.getParent().getChildren().size()==1){
                String entryString="<div id=\"entry sole\"><span class=\"label\">" + salesMember.getName() + "</span></div>";
                System.out.println(entryString);
                out.println(entryString);
                n=n-1;
            }
            else{
                String entryString="<div id=\"entry\"><span class=\"label\">" + salesMember.getName() + "</span>";
                String lvString = "<div class=\"branch lv"+n+"\">";
                System.out.println(entryString);
                System.out.println(lvString);
                out.println(entryString);
                out.println(lvString);
                n=n+1;
            }

            if(children!=null && !children.isEmpty()){
            for(int i=0;i<children.size();i++){
                displaySaleMember(out,children.get(i),n);
            }
            }

            System.out.println("</div></div>");
            out.println("</div></div>");

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public SalesMember getSalesMember() {
        return salesMember;
    }

    public void setSalesMember(SalesMember salesMember) {
        this.salesMember = salesMember;
    }

}

expected output : jsp file

Could you please add you logic to view it.

also i am posting SaleMember Object for your reference

public ModelAndView getRootElement(){

Answer 1

finally solved by own. after debugging i updated below code

from

 if(children!=null && !children.isEmpty()){
    for(int i=0;i<children.size();i++){
      displaySaleMember(out,children.get(i),n);
    }
 }

 System.out.println("</div></div>");
 out.println("</div></div>");

To

for(int i=0;i<children.size();i++){
    displaySaleMember(out,children.get(i),n);
    if(children.get(i).getChildren()!=null){
        System.out.println("</div></div>");
        out.println("</div></div>");
    }
}   

and put this code in else block.
