Answer 1

There are multiple ways this can be done (with some changes in your scheme)

Using JSTL:

1. Create a bean with two fields as food and food_code

   public class Food{ private String food; private String food_code; // Setter/getters follows }

Now the arraylist available on the page will be list Food objects. In the JSP code, you can use following:

    
        ${item.food}
    

If you are using struts:

Here list is object key which will be used to retrieve the list from context (page/session)
