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

If you only want the first element of a set (and you are certain there is at least one element) you can do the following:

    
        Hello ${dealership.administeredBy.iterator().next().firstName},

    
    
        Hello Administrators,
