> Why does <logic:iterate/> use a collection as 
>       A runtime expression that evaluates to a collection to be iterated over.
> and <html:options>
>       Name of the JSP bean (in some scope) which is itself a Collection of 
> other
>       beans, each of which has properties named by the "property" and 
> "labelProperty"
>       attributes that are used to retrieve the value and label for each 
> option,
>       respectively. [RT Expr] 
> effective, if I use <logic:iterate> I can do (something like) this
>       <logic:iterate id="template" collection="<%= (SortedMap) 
> application.getAttribute(\"template\")).getEntries() %>">
>       </logic:iterate>
> which is really handy, but for <html:options> I have to do
>         <% pageContext.setAttribute("catalog", myCatalogCollection); %>
>         <html:select property="catalog_id">
>             <html:options collection="catalog" property="value.id" 
> labelProperty="value.description"/>
>         </html:select>
> I'd rather have in the middle
>             <html:options collection="<%= catalog %>" property="value.id" 
> labelProperty="value.description"/>
> or similar, like I can do with iterate.
> Or put better from the index of the javadoc
>       setCollection(Object) - Method in class 
> org.apache.struts.taglib.EnumerateTag
>               Set the collection over which we will be enumerating. 
>       setCollection(Object) - Method in class 
> org.apache.struts.taglib.IterateTag 
>               Set the collection over which we will be iterating. 
>       setCollection(Object) - Method in 
> class org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.SizeTag 
>       setCollection(Object) - Method in class 
> org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.IterateTag 
>       setCollection(String) - Method in class 
> org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsTag 
>        
> Spot the odd one out.
