Description Ryan Lubke 2002-04-14 17:46:11 UTC 
Section 12.6, page12-153, 'Null & Error Handling':

If 'select' is empty, it is treated as an empty nodeset, i.e., no iteration
is performed.

Resulting stacktrace:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: com.werken.saxpath.XPathSyntaxException: 0:
Unexpected ''
	at org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.xml.ForEachTag.prepare(ForEachTag.java:92)
	at javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.LoopTagSupport.doStartTag(LoopTagSupport.java:258)
