Listing 11 - A JSP scriptlet.
<% String[]items = request.getParameterValues("item"); response.setContentType("text/html");String name = request.getParameter("firstName"); if(name == null){out.println("Empty"); }//end ifif(items != null){ for(int i = 0; i<items.length; i++){ %>

The body of the for loop

Listing 12 contains the body of the for loop that began in Listing 11 . This is a combination of a JSP expression tag and raw HTML code to display the new value and also to create and populate a hidden field in theoutput.

Listing 12 - The body of the for loop.
<%= items[i] %><br/><input type="hidden" name="item" value="<%=items[i]%>"/>

Another scriptlet

Listing 13 is another scriptlet containing pure Java code. This scriptlet terminates the for loop and the if statement that began in Listing 11 . It also begins a new if statement to display the new input value and also to create and populate the last hidden field containing the newly receivedinput value.

<% }//end for loop}//end if if(name != null){%>
