How to obtain request / session / servletcontext attribute in JSP using EL?

Viewed 38294

I know this isn't hard, but I'm not having any luck.

I want to make fooList from a Servlet available in a JSP. So in the Servlet I have:

request.setAttribute("list", fooList);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = 
  getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/myJsp.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);

Then in the JSP, I want:

<c:forEach var="post" items="${SOME_EL_HERE}">
    <!-- stuff -->
</c:forEach>

Where SOME_EL_HERE is an expression that retrieves the attribute that I have set on the request.

Any thoughts? My preference is to not complicate a simple task by adding a framework, but I'm open to changes in strategy.
