Tags That Define Variables

A simple tag can define an EL variable that can be used within the calling page. In the following example, the iterator tag sets the value of the EL variable departmentName as it iterates through a collection of department names.

<tlt:iterator var="departmentName" type="java.lang.String"
        group="${myorg.departmentNames}">
    <tr>
        <td><a href="list.jsp?deptName=${departmentName}">
            ${departmentName}</a></td>
    </tr>
</tlt:iterator>
