is it possible to iterate two items simultaneously using foreach in jstl?
You can call varStatus.index to get the index of the current round of iteration, and then use it as a lookup for the second list.
For example, if you have two lists people.firstnames and people.lastnames you can do:
<c:forEach var="p" items="${people.firstnames}" varStatus="status"> <tr> <td>${p}</td> <td>${people.lastnames[status.index]}</td> </tr></c:forEach>
