JSP help

Hello, I have a project using JSP and JSTL. I have to forward one JSP to another. The problem that I am having is understanding what JSTL tags to loop through and get the information from the java class by using the
<c:when>, <c:choose> tags. I have index.jsp, plants.jsp and a Customers.java file. The customer has to what type of plant they want, enter a quanity, and put in their id number. I have 2 errorr messages, one if that they need to order over a quarnity of 24 and one is not a valid id. When I get to retrieving the customer id I don't know how to use the correct tags to get the customer Id. It just keeps giving me the error message. Can someone tell me how I would write the the tags to get the customer id and list the name of the customer on the output page.

Here is my code for index.jsp
