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
