Using <logic:iterate> with Struts 1.x

I am new to Struts 1.x. I need to iterate List<List<VO>> in a JSP using <logic: iterate>

List<List<VO>> -- defined in Form

from that I am able to get and Outer List. Now using an id, I get the inner list. My List<Vo> used to fill the combo-boxes.

How do I get the properties of VO from <logic:iterate>?

Solution

  • It's been a while since I used Struts 1.x, but IIRC you should be able to access the VO from inside a <logic:iterate>.

    Assuming you have something like this in your Action (PersonForm is the VO, and it contains a list of email addresses):

    List<EmailAddress> emailAddresses = new ArrayList<EmailAddress>();
emailAddresses.add(new EmailAddress("bob@bob.com"));
emailAddresses.add(new EmailAddress("bob@somewhere-else.com"));

PersonForm personForm = new PersonForm();
personForm.setFirstName("Robert");
personForm.setEmailAddresses(emailAddresses);

request.setAttribute("myPersonForm", personForm );

    And then the following in your JSP:

    <logic:iterate name="myPersonForm" property="emailAddresses" id="email">
  <li><bean:write name="myPersonForm" property="firstName" /></li>
  <li><bean:write name="email" property="address"/></li>
</logic:iterate>

    That should print out something like:

    • Robert
    • bob@bob.com
    • Robert
    • bob@somewhere-else.com
