Generate output text from a list

Question

I have a SEAM JSF web application with a Java back end. I have a list of objects who has a display value which I would like to display. Since the list is retrieved from the DB, it is dynamic

<s:decorate>
  <ui:define name="label">Description:</ui:define>
      <!-- foreach book in bookList -> display the description
  <h:outputText value="#{bean.bookList.book.description}"/>
      -->
</s:decorate>

So in a way I would like to create a sort of foreach loop for labels.

JSF 2.5? You must come from the future since JSF latest version is JSF 2.2.1 — Luiggi Mendoza

Then you can use <ui:repeat>. Example: mkyong.com/jsf2/jsf-2-repeat-tag-example — Luiggi Mendoza

<ui:repeat value="#{bean.bookList}" var="book">
  <h:outputText value="#{book.description}"/>
</ui:repeat>

Or #{book.description} directly without using <h:outputText>.
