Writing java codes in jsp(Spring Mvc)

Question

I am new to spring MVC. I need to write java codes in a jsp(though its not a good practice, but i don't have other option). My Jsp is now like

          <c:forEach items="${dbEntries}" var="c" varStatus="loop">
                        <tr> 
                              <% 
                                  int i = 0;
                                  system.out.println(i);
                              %>
                              <td rowspan="1">${c.getRh_name()}</td>                                 
                              <td rowspan="1">${c.getIpm_name()}</td>` 
                        </tr>
          </c:forEach>

but its giving an error "org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:". Can anyone help??

included headers are

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"  prefix="spring"%>
<core:set var="contextPath" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}"/>

Use jstl instead of java code inside jsp like this.

<c:set var="salary" scope="session" value="${2000*2}" /> 
 <c:out value="${salary}" /> 
<c:forEach begin="1" end="5" step="1">
     <c:set var="salary" value="${2000*2}" /> 
</c:forEach> <c:out value="${salary}" />
