JSTL need a comma separated array to dispay data on JSP

Question

its me again. I got my results to display from the bean list, but ran into a issue when we did some rollups on the database package. As you can see the lines that are rolled up on show as memory locations, I believe is what it's called. I was advised that I can use something like "varstatus" and iterate over to make a comma separated array to display the actual data?

Does this sound right?

The headings are fine...its the data Im referring to

Thanx

If the picture is too small...the last 3 columns are popuated with this: "[Ljava.lang.String;@11396ec"

BEAN:

public class DetResults
{
private List<String> headings;
private List<Class<?>> types;
private List<Object[]> data;

public DetResults() {}

public List<String> getHeadings() { return this.headings; }
public String getHeading(int which) { return this.headings.get(which); }

public List<Class<?>> getTypes() { return this.types; }
public Class<?> getType(int which) { return this.types.get(which); }

public List<Object[]> getData( ) { return this.data; }
public Object[] getDataAtRow( int row ) { return this.data.get(row); }


public void setHeadings( List<String> val ) { this.headings = val; }
public void setHeadings( String[] val ) { this.headings = Arrays.asList(val); }
public void addHeading( String val ) 
{ 
    if( this.headings == null ) this.headings = new ArrayList<String>();
    this.headings.add(val); 
}

public void setTypes( List<Class<?>> val ) { this.types = val; }
public void setTypes( Class<?> val[] ) { this.types = Arrays.asList(val); }
public void addType( Class<?> val ) 
{
    if( this.types == null ) this.types = new ArrayList<Class<?>>();
    this.types.add(val); 
}


public void setData( List<Object[]> val ) { this.data = val; }

// allow NPE to get thrown
public void setDataAtRow( Object[] val, int row ) { this.data.set(row, val); }

public void appendDataRow( Object[] val ) 
{
    if( data == null ) data = new ArrayList<Object[]>(); 
    this.data.add(val); 
}

public int getColumnCount() { return this.headings!=null?this.headings.size():0; }

}

JSP:

<tr>
        <th>
            <span onclick="toggleDiv('resultSet', 'resultImg')" style="cursor: hand;">Results&nbsp;<img name="resultImg" src="../images/minus.gif" /></span>
        </th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <div id="resultSet" style="display:block; background-color:#ffffff;">

            <!--Begin Search Results -->
            <c:choose>
            <c:when test="${not empty results.columnCount}">

                      </tr>
                      <c:forEach var="row" items="${results.data}">

                        </c:forEach> 
                        </tr>
                        </c:forEach> 
                </table>
                </ctl:vertScroll>

            </c:when>
            <c:otherwise>
                <!--  SHOW NOTHING -->
            </c:otherwise>
            </c:choose>

            <!--End Search Results -->

Answer 1

Here is the basic idea,

Your collection

List<String> fruits = new ArrayList<String>();
fruits.add("Apple");
fruits.add("Mango");
fruits.add("Grapes");

On JSP

<c:forEach items="${fruits}" var="fruit" varStatus="status">
         <c:out value="${fruit}"/>
         <c:if test="${!status.last}">,</c:if>
</c:forEach>
