    copied!<p>I'm brand new to JSTL and have a question because I need to process some data before displaying it with HTML. </p> <p>Here's my data returned from server: </p> <pre><code>&lt;participantMeetingList&gt; &lt;meeting&gt; &lt;meetingName&gt;Test&lt;/meetingName&gt; &lt;description&gt;Description for test meeting&lt;/description&gt; &lt;startTime&gt;2013-06-13 00:45:00.0&lt;/startTime&gt; &lt;endTime&gt;2013-06-13 02:00:00.0&lt;/endTime&gt; &lt;creatorName&gt;me@test.com&lt;/creatorName&gt; &lt;/meeting&gt; &lt;meeting&gt; &lt;meetingName&gt;HTML 5 lobby test&lt;/meetingName&gt; &lt;description&gt;Description for lobby test&lt;/description&gt; &lt;startTime&gt;2013-06-04 11:30:00.0&lt;/startTime&gt; &lt;endTime&gt;2013-06-04 12:30:00.0&lt;/endTime&gt; &lt;creatorName&gt;you@test.com&lt;/creatorName&gt; &lt;/meeting&gt; &lt;/participantMeetingList&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm using this JSTL to simply render 1 row after another for each record: </p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="meeting-schedule"&gt; &lt;c:forEach var="meeting" items="${response.mMeetingList}" begin="0" end="5"&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;!-- MEETING DAY AND DATE --&gt; &lt;div class="span1"&gt; &lt;small class="muted"&gt;&lt;fmt:formatDate value="${meeting.startTime}" type="date" pattern="E MMM"&gt;&lt;/fmt:formatDate&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;fmt:formatDate value="${meeting.startTime}" type="date" pattern="d"&gt;&lt;/fmt:formatDate&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul class="span4 unstyled"&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="#" class="row" onclick="getMeetingDetails(${meeting.meetingId})"&gt; &lt;div class="span1"&gt;&lt;fmt:formatDate value="${meeting.startTime}" type="time" pattern="h:mm a"&gt;&lt;/fmt:formatDate&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="span3"&gt;${meeting.meetingName}&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/c:forEach&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, our designer now says they want one row for each date where the first td cell is the month and date and the second td cell is a list of meeting names and times. </p> <p>Can I do this using JSTL? Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started, please? </p> <p>Thanks for any helpful tips!</p>
