c:forEach

 <body>
   <c:forEach var="i" begin="1" end="100">
     <c:out value="${i}"/><br/>
   </c:forEach>
 </body>

Accessing Value in Bean
SampleMenu.java(bean)

  public class SampleMenu
  {
    String name;
  
    public String getName()
    {
      return name;
    }
	
    public void setName(String name)
    {
      this.name = name;
    }
  }

MenuList.java

   List<SampleMenu> arrMenuList = new ArrayList<SampleMenu>();		
   SampleMenu objSampleMenu     = new SampleMenu();

   objSampleMenu.setName("Link1");
   arrMenuList.add(objSampleMenu); 

   objSampleMenu.setName("Link2");
   arrMenuList.add(objSampleMenu);

   objSampleMenu.setName("Link3");
   arrMenuList.add(objSampleMenu);

   request.setAttribute("arrMenuList", arrMenuList);
   RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/Sample.jsp");
   dispatcher.forward(request, response);

Sample.java

 
   <body>
     <c:forEach	var="i" items="${arrMenuList}">
	     <c:out value="${i.name}"/>
     </c:forEach>
   </body>

Output
Link1 Link2 Link3

If Else 

 
<c:if test="${user.userGender eq 1}">Male</c:if>
<c:if test="${user.userGender eq 0}">Female</c:if>

(or)

 
  <c:choose>
    <c:when test="${user.userGender eq 1}">Male</c:when>
    <c:otherwise>Female</c:otherwise>
  </c:choose>

Alternative to If Else Statement

 
 <c:out value="${user.userGender eq 1 ? 'Male': 'Female'}"/>

If Else If

<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${empty example1}"> 
        <!-- do stuff -->
    </c:when> 
    <c:otherwise> 
        <c:choose>
            <c:when test="${empty example2}"> 
                <!-- do different stuff -->
            </c:when> 
            <c:otherwise> 
                <!-- do default stuff -->
            </c:otherwise>
        </c:choose>
    </c:otherwise> 
</c:choose>

If Else If

<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${empty example1}">
    </c:when>
    <c:when test="${empty example2}">
    </c:when>
    <c:otherwise>
    </c:otherwise>              
</c:choose>
