You can use the same technique to loop over a HashMap in JSP which we have used earlier to loop over a list in JSP. The JSTL foreach tag has special support for looping over Map, it provides you both key and value by using var attribute. In the case of HashMap, object exported using var contains Map. Entry object.
The <c:for each > is an iteration tag used for repeating the nested body content for fixed number of times or over the collection. These tag used as a good alternative for embedding a Java while, do-while, or for loop via a scriptlet.
Like this:
<c:forEach var="entry" items="${myMap}">
Key: <c:out value="${entry.key}"/>
Value: <c:out value="${entry.value}"/>
</c:forEach>
You can loop through a hash map like this
<%
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
TreeMap itemList=new TreeMap();
itemList.put("test", "test");
list.add(itemList);
pageContext.setAttribute("itemList", list);
%>
<c:forEach items="${itemList}" var="itemrow">
<input type="text" value="<c:out value='${itemrow.test}'/>"/>
</c:forEach>
