Type should be available as an attribute of the iterate tag. Which tld are you using?
The tld and the documentation are generated from the same xml file so they shouldn't
be out of sync.
I think the iterate tag exposes the index for use by nested custom tags, but I don't
know if any tags in struts make use of the exposed index. Maybe you have to write your
own tag to access it?
