Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I have a bean with a method that returns a Result object. I've named the method getSuppliers() in accordance with Bean practices. I'm trying to access the results in my jsp as follows:

<jsp:useBean id="suppliers" class="npp.SuppliersAndContracts" scope="session"/>

    <c:forEach var="item" items="${suppliers.suppliers}">
        <c:out value="${item.id}"/>
    </c:forEach>

However, I'm getting the following error:

Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in <forEach>

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks!!!
