How to display TABLE dynamically in JSP using SPRING MVC

Question

I want to create a table dynamically in such a way that no of headers and data i can pass from JAVA class and on no. basis, jsp should create a table accordingly.

I have controller class in which i am returning model object which is my bean class. In that i have a list attribute in which i have hardcoded some values.These values should be by header names in the JSP table. When i am rendering this model object to jsp then i am not able to retrieve the headers info. Plz suggest. My contrller class loooks like this:

@RequestMapping
public ModelAndView getHeaders(PortletRequest portlestRequest, PortletResponse portletResponse){

    ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();

    TableDAO dao = new TableDAO();
    List<String> headersList = dao.getHeaders();

    TableView tableView  = new TableView();

    tableView.setTableHeaders(headersList);
    mv.addObject("tableView",tableView);
    mv.setView("tableView");
    return mv;
}

My jsp:

<table>
<c:forEach var = "listValue" items = "${tableView.tableHeaders}">
    <tr>
      <%for(int i = 0;i<5;i++){ %>
                <td>
                    <%=${listValue.get(i)} %>
                </td>
            <%} %>
    </tr>
  </c:forEach>
</table> 

Someone plz help me on this.

Solution

Why are you looking over the list of headers twice? You dont need that scriptlet code.

Since tableView.tableHeaders returns a list of strings, you just need :

<table>
        <tr>
            <c:forEach var = "listValue" items = "${tableView.tableHeaders}">
            <td>
                <c:out value="${listValue}"/>
            </td>
            </c:forEach>
        </tr>
</table>
