Fill javascript array using jstl array

Question

I have a jstl array with,

<sql:query var="list_str" dataSource="${myDS}">
    SELECT * FROM str;
</sql:query>

Now i want to fill a single column content of the table str in a javascript array. I am trying this.

<c:forEach items="${list_str.rows}" var="user" varStatus="status">
    var val = ${user.Name};
    fruits.push(val);
</c:forEach>

But, the fruits array value is empty, can anyone please guide how to accomplish this.

Did you have a look a the generated client-side source code? — sp00m

You don't need the var val and you need quotes around what will become a hard-coded string literal in the resulting javascript code.

<c:forEach items="${list_str.rows}" var="user" varStatus="status">
    fruits.push('${user.Name}');
</c:forEach>
