[Opensource] Outputting something on screen - Desperate

[Ilian Alekov]

Hi,  Marc!


That is the way I do it:

I write this code in my state:

    Block B1 = new Block();
    B1.setName("fooRoot");
    myResponse.addBlock(B1);
    for(int x=0;x<5;x++){
       Output out01= new Output() ;
       out01.setName("List1");
       out01.setAttribute("itemID", "itemID"+String.valueOf(x));
       out01.setAttribute("Product", "ProductName"+String.valueOf(x));
       B1.addNested(out01);
    }

And this piece of code in my .jsp

<logic:iterate id="List1" property="fooRoot">
    <bean:write name="List1" property="@itemID"/>:<bean:write 
name="List1" property="@Product"/><br>
</logic:iterate>

so, I get the result:

itemID0:ProductName0
itemID1:ProductName1
itemID2:ProductName2
itemID3:ProductName3
itemID4:ProductName4

I hope this will help you!

Ilian.
