title: Is there a way to populate a map in JSP?
body: <p>For example</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jsp:useBean id="total" class="java.util.LinkedHashMap"/&gt;
  // need somehow do something like this: total.put('key', 'value');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But without using scriptlets (it's obvious but a little bit ugly)</p>
