How to loop over something a specified number of times in JSTL?

The <c:forEach> tag is definitely suitable for this. It has begin and end attributes where you can specify the, well, begin and end. It has a varStatus attribute which puts a LoopTagStatus object in the loop tag scope which in turn has several methods like getIndex() and on.

Here’s a kickoff example:

<c:forEach begin="0" end="10" varStatus="loop">
    Index: ${loop.index}<br/>
</c:forEach>
