How to select the first element of a set with JSTL?

Question

I managed to do it with the next code but there must be an easier way.

<%@ taglib prefix=\"c\" uri=\"http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core\" %>
<%@ tag         


        

Answer 1

You can access individual elements with the array [] operator:

This will work for arrays and lists. It won't work for maps and sets. In that case you must put the key of the element inside the brackets.
