Often you can experience some troubles accessing correctly the objects (and their properties) on which you’re iterating through a iterator<\/code> tag.<\/p>\n

Let’s consider this action that simply returns an Item<\/code> list obtained from our business service.<\/p>\n

 \r\npublic class MyAction extends ActionSupport {\r\n  private List myList;\r\n  private MyService myService;\r\n\r\n  public String myMethod() {\r\n    myList = myService.getItemList();\r\n    return ActionSupport.SUCCESS;\r\n }\r\n  public List getMyList() {\r\n    return myList;\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
The MyItem<\/code> bean class:<\/p>\n
 \r\npublic class MyItem {\r\n  private String name;\r\n  public String getName() {\r\n    return name;\r\n  }\r\n  public void setName(String name) {\r\n    this.name = name;\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
In the jsp we iterate on myList<\/code> (that results in the execution of getMyList()<\/code> in the action) and we try to display the name<\/code> property of each item<\/code> (defined in the id<\/code> attribute of the iterator<\/code> tag) that calls the getName()<\/code> method of the  Item<\/code> bean.<\/p>\n
These are the results:<\/p>\n
 \r\n \r\n Doesn't work \r\n Works \r\n Doesn't work \r\n Works \r\n Doesn't work \r\n Works \r\n Works \r\n<\/s:iterator> \r\n<\/pre>\n
I hope this little test can be useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
