The system marks this answer as correct:

The EL code within the body of the tag may refer to the iteration variable but scripting code cannot.

With the following note:

For example, <%=dept.getName()%> is invalid here:

<c:forEach var="dept" items="${departments}">
<c:out value="${dept.name}"/><br><%=dept.getName()%>
</c:forEach>

But I guess its WRONG, because the scripting code can access the iteration variables as follows:

Code: Select all

<c:forEach var="str" items="${arr}" varStatus="status">
	<c:out value="${str}"/><br>
	<c:out value="${status.count}"/><br>
        Now with scriptlet:<br>
	<%=pageContext.getAttribute("status")%><br>
	<%=((String)pageContext.getAttribute("str")).toUpperCase()%><br>
</c:forEach>

I have tested this code and obtained correct output as well. So i guess this can be misleading.

Am I right with this?

In that way you are accessing "context attributes" but not "variables". That was my train of thoughts when I met the question.

You are not really accessing the scripting variable. You are accessing the object that stored in the context under the same name.
