if all you re trying to do is get the value of a single entry in a map  there s no need to loop over any collection at all  simplifying gautum s response slightly  you can get the value of a named map entry as follows    lt c out value    map  key      gt    where  map  is the collection and  key  is the string key for which you re trying to extract the value

I had issue with the solutions mentioned above as specifying the string key would give me javax el PropertyNotFoundException  The code shown below worked for me  In this I used status to count the index of for each loop and displayed the value of index I am interested on   lt c forEach items    requestScope key    var  map  varStatus  status   gt       lt c if test    status index eq 1   gt           lt option gt  lt c out value   map value   gt  lt  option gt       lt  c if gt   lt  c forEach gt
