Property 'name' not found on type java.lang.String

报错误: Property 'name' not found on type java.lang.String

错误写法:

for:Each 中items属性的ER表达式书写错误,此博客不能贴 c标签,遗憾了,有什么方法贴出来.告诉我下啊....?????

<c:forEach items="categories" var="category" &rt;
      <html:option value="${category.name}" key="categoryName"></html:option> 
     </c:forEach>  

正确写法:

<c:forEach items="${requestScope[categories]}" var="category" >
      <html:option value="${category.name}" key="categoryName"></html:option> 
     </c:forEach>
