I have just tried this, but the "id" attribute is apparently required. My
guess is that this can just be an arbitrary variable... However, the bigger
issue seems to be that the iterate tag isn't really suited to the retrieval
of more than one oject (i.e. the hashmap's key/value pairs)...
here's the old code I was hoping to "convert":
<!--% HashMap jmap = (HashMap)request.getAttribute("hmap");
for (Iterator i = jmap.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
String key = (String)i.next();
Object obj = jmap.get(key);
%>
<tr>
<td><font size=1><%= key %></font></td>
<td><font size=1><%=
obj.toString()%></font></td>
</tr-->
<%
}
%>
Is there a way to integrate this into a Struts iterate tag, or should i just
stick with the original code?
Thanks so much for your help.

Subject: Re: Another question about the logic:iterate tag
The docs say "JSP bean", but the meaning there is broad. So, yes, you
can do this:
request.setAttribute("hashmap",hashmap);
...
<logic:iterate name="hashmap">
To use an actual bean, you would also specify the property
<logic:iterate name="javaBean" property="hashmap">
which resolves to javaBean.getHashmap()
