Of course--you have to tell the <c:out...> tag a) what bean to get the property from and b) what property to display. When you say <c:forEach items="${userPortfolios}"...> you are telling c:forEach what collection to use for the iteration. When you say <c:forEach var="portfolio"...> you are creating a variable you can use in other JSTL tags--in essence naming each portfolio bean "portfolio" for the purposes of JSTL.that makes sense, but the individual portfolios (the members of the PortfolioBeanCollection) dont really have a name, I just looped through my result set doing
PortfolioBeanCollection PBC=new PortfolioBeanCollection (); while (result.hasnext){ pbc.add (new PortfolioBean(resultSet.getString("namefield"))); }
so I really just used the PortfolioBeanCollection as if it were a
garden variety ArrayList.... does your comment still apply?
But you still have to tell <c:out...> what bean and what property, otherwise how would it know what to print? When you just say <c:out value="${portfolioName}"/> it's looking for an application, session, request, or page scoped attribute named "portfolioName". Without the prepended "portfolio" it doesn't know that the property "portfolioName" is associated with a bean created through the c:forEach iterator.
I'd recommend checking out some very basic JSTL docs to get a feel for how JSTL works:

(Wouldn't it have been quicker to just but the property name in your code and see if it worked?)
