Thread: How to create dynamic rows in jsp according to the number of data read from servlet?

Hi all experts...!!
I have devoloped a servlet which reads data from DB & the resuslt is set to a session & send it to the jsp. In jsp the result is put to a table(data grid).

<td width="100" ><%= (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("name") %> </td>
<td width="100" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" border="2"><%= (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("age") %></td>

My problem is all the data is included in to one row. I need to get all the data row by row. (if 5 names are in the DB , 05 rows should be created.)

Tell me where I have done the mistake...

plz help me on this.....

Yes just like JavaPF says you should loop through the information in your arraylist and print it line by line.

<%
    final List<String> names = (ArrayList<String>) session.getAttribute("names");
%>
 
<table>
<%
    for(final String name : names)
    {
%>
    <tr>
        <td><%=name %></td>
    </tr>
<%
    }   
%>
</table>

Something like that or you can use JSTL to do this with tags which might be preferable. I only print out a list of strings in that example but you get the point, you could have a list of objects and print out the selected data from the object using that loop.
