今天使用SringMVC + Mybatis + JSP 搭建一个小 demo 的时候，报了如下错误
报错信息如下

这是因为我在 JSP 中使用了 forEach 遍历 user ：

<c:forEach items="${user}" var="user">
        <tr>
            <th>${user.id}</th>
            <th>${user.name}</th>
            <th>${user.address}</th>
        </tr>
    </c:forEach>

但是我控制器返回的是单个对象，而针对单个对象无法使用 foreach 迭代，故报错如上。
解决办法是将应答的对象封装到一个 list 中：List<User>，然后再返回给视图进行渲染解析。
