How about using JSTL tags to perfom the iteration. here is an example
[code]
LinkedHashMap labels = new LinkedHashMap();
labels.put("Document Title", "Title");
labels.put("Summary","Summary" );
labels.put("Product", "Prod");
labels.put("Date", "Date");
labels.put("Score", "Score");
labels.put("Document key", "docKey");
session.setAttribute("labels", labels);
[/code]

Then use JSTL tags to access this:

[code]
<c:forEach var="label" items="${labels}">
  <c:out value="${label.key}"/> //prints the keys from
the hashmap
  <c:out value="${label.value}"/>
</c:forEach>
[/code]

For your example it would be like this:

[code]
request.setAttribute("userdetails",userdetails);

<c:forEach var="userDetail" items="${items}">
 <c:out value="${userDetail}"/>
</c:forEach>

[/code]

I've used struts custom tags but I prefer to use JSTL tags and they are more powerful.

If you wish to continue using struts tags then please send more information about what is contained in the arraylist.

Thanks

thanx for ur reply as you said i added the follwoing code
this is java code in action class

request.setAttribute("userdetails",userdetails);
userdetails contains data from a table
in the jsp
<c:forEach var="userdetail" items="${userdetails}">
          <c:out value="${userdetail}"/>
           </c:forEach>

but the output is not showing any thing...
whats wrong in the above code...

Are the objects in your ArrayList Strings or String[]s?

If you just place String objects within your ArrayList, or at objects with pretty-printing toString() methods, your JSP should work just fine.

I came across similar problems several weeks ago. JSTL solves it well. But soon I found better tool: the Apache Velocity (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/). Velocity has a natual language grammar. The loop you mentioned can be done through #foreach()..#end No more tages anymore. Anyway, you can give a try.

If your issue is the fact that the <bean> tag takes HTML code and writes it out as text rather than HTML then you can use the filter="true" setting and force the bean tag to filter html specific characters and convert them to their encoded counterpart.

Sorry, I should also have said, you can set filter="false" so that the bean tag does not filter the html tags. This will cause it to write the text vebatim to the screen.

Example: if your data was
"something <br> something"

filter="true" would display in the browser as:
"something <br> something"
(or "something <br> something" behind the scenes)

filter="false" would display as:
"something
something"
(or "something <br> something" behind the scenes)

convert your data in to toString() by overriding toString() method of string class

i think this is help ful for you
