s:iterator fails to iterate over collections containing null
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WW-3010
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3010
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.14
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Daniel Baldes


When using the struts2 taglib's iterator tag to iterate over a collection which 
contains nulls, the current value ("id") is not set to null, but to the value 
it had in the last iteration before. This behaviour is explicitly coded without 
any obvious reason. See IteratorComponent.java from line 219:

            if ((id != null) && (currentValue != null)) {
                //pageContext.setAttribute(id, currentValue);
                //pageContext.setAttribute(id, currentValue, 
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
                stack.getContext().put(id, currentValue);
            }

Expected behaviour: just iterate over the null values as a plain java iterator 
would.

If nulls are forbidden for some important reason, it should throw an execption, 
but not return a wrong value.
