I am sending an ArrayList to this jsp file and reading it with this code:

<form:select path="student.ec[0].estate">
    <form:option value="NONE" label="--- Select one ---" />
    <form:options items="${estate}" />
</form:select>

Because I have path attribute in the above html, it stores the selected value in an appropriate bean. And I can also easily print it. But I want the above code to be converted to JSTL code. I want to be able to write the above code with c:ForEach tags. So far, I have only been able to show the dropdown menu. But it doesn't save the value selected in its appropriate bean. This is the code I got:

<select>
    <c:forEach var="line" items="${availableLines}">
        <option><c:out value="${line}"/></option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

I will appreciate any help. Thanks

Solution! Found it. Here is the code:

<form:select path="state" id="state"> 
<form:option value="NONE">Select   State: </form:option> 
<c:forEach items="${estateList}" var="stateslist"> 
<form:option value="${stateslist}">${stateslist}</form:option> 
</c:forEach> </form:select>
