concatenate string in jstl

<c:forEach var="address" items="${addressList}" varStatus="status">
<c:set var="firstaddress" value="${address.streetAddress} ${address.extendedAddress} ${address.city } ${address.city } ${address.zipcode }," />
</c:forEach>

Will the firstaddress have the concatenated address separated by comma? What is the right way to concatenate?

rrz

Your question is not clear. In the above, you are setting a variable named firstaddress. Nothing will be displayed. Also, you are setting all your addresses to the same variable. Each address in your list will overwrite the one before it.
Please give us more details.
What is addressList ? A javabean ?
How do want the data displayed ? Show us what it should look like in the browser.

I need to concatenate different variables in a single variable, I would like to know the method of concatenation of strings

rrz

The way you did it above here(in the <c:set> tag) is fine.
Are you trying to concatenate all the addresses in the addressList into one variable ?
Or are you trying to create a new variable for each address ?

Concatenate all the address in one variable

rrz

If you want to concatenate all the addresses into one variable, then you might have to do it in a scriptlet.
What do you want to do with the variable once all the data is in it ?
What is addressList ? Is it an ArrayList ? Does it contain Address objects that are javabeans?

I will have data in a array like
<address>
<streetadreess>abc</streetaddress>
<zipcode>66788</zipcode>
</address>

In this case I need to concatenate street address and zip code to concatenate and check the length of the complete address
