best way to return a result set from java bean to jsp

[gwu]

I am new to JSP and I would like to know what the best way to send the mysql result set back to the jsp page from the java bean; vector, multidimensional array, or even comma-delimited string?

Lets say:

"select firstName, lastName, emailAddress from user"

Furthermore , I will not know how many rows will be returned, 1, 50, or even 10000.

Thanks

Personally, I favour an ArrayList of HashMap's.

Nicer is to have a java class called User and you create for every row in the resultset a user object and put those in a collection. Then get the collection and display them on the jsp page.

I use the same apprach as sjakiePP. Your code will be a lot more maintainable and function in a variety of situations.
