Does anyone know a way to get the index of the element in a ui:repeat facelets tag?

<ui:repeat id="topTenGrd" var="dream" value="#{dreamModifyBean.topDreams}">
    <h:outputText class="dream-title uppercase" value="#{dream.number}. #{dream.title}" />
</ui:repeat>

Specify a value for the "varStatus" attribute:

<ui:repeat id="..." var="..." value="..." varStatus="myVarStatus">

You can then access the loop index via EL:

#{myVarStatus.index}

Additionally, the following properties are available to the varStatus:

begin of type Integer
end of type Integer
index of type int
step of type Integer
even of type boolean
odd of type boolean
first of type boolean
last of type boolean
