For example:
<j:set var="test" value="a">
<j:forEach begin="0" end="1">
<!-- overwrite 'test' -->
<j:set var="test" value="b">
</j:forEach>
<!-- now, the value of variable test is 'b' -->
Ideally, forEach loop should have its own variable scope. Any new variable defined in this scope should not be populated to outer code block.
People can avoid this problem by choosing variable names carefully.
However, they are few tags are suffering from this issue. For example, the <http:parameter> uses a List to keep all the parameters. If you
have a code looks like this:
<j:forEach begin="0" end="2" indexVar="idx">
<http:post url="http://google.com/search">
<http:parameter name="q" value="${idx}" />
</http:post>
</j:forEach>
