There are multiple ways to check if an ArrayList is empty in JSP or not. For example, you can use the empty operator and the length function of JSTL to check if a list is empty or not. You can also use scriptlet, which allows you to insert Java code into JSP but that is not advisable because it makes it harder to maintain a JSP page. You can also write a custom tag but that is not required because JSTL provides you the necessary support. In this article, I'll show you two ways to check if a given list or ArrayList is empty or not on the JSP page without using the scriptlet. You guessed it right, we will use JSTL, the Java standard tag library to solve this problem.
