Access JSTL tag from code inside of forEach loop

Question

Is it possible to access JSTL's forEach variable via code from within the loop?

<c:forEach items="${elements}" var="element">
    <% element.someMethod(); %>
</c:forEach>

Answer 1

Well, I believe "element" is stored in the page context.

<c:forEach items="${elements}" var="element">
    <% ((Element) pageContext.getAttribute("elements")).someMethod(); %>
</c:forEach>
