Pass data from Java Servlet to JSP? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Besides what's mentioned above about using expression lang, you can also pass attributes via request itself. In Servlet's doGet(), we write something like:

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.getAccountList();
request.setAttribute("accountList", accounts );
RequestDispatcher rd = req.getRequestDispatcher(nextJSPurl);
rd.forward(req, resp);

In JSP, we can retrieve the attribute from request:

 <%
    Account[] accounts= (Account[])request.getAttribute("accountList");

       if (accounts.length>0) {       
       for (Account account: accounts) {            
                %>
                
account name: <%= account.getName() %>
                <%
            }
        }
 %>
