Hi Michael,
I'm not sure if you're using 1.1 or 1.0, but if you're using 1.1, why not
create a DynaActionForm to hold the "users" collection? I currently do the
same kind of task as you and the logic:iterate tag works great(tested
with just about every nightly build from 1.1b2 till today). Here is my
following configuration:
struts-config.xml
my form bean is defined as follows:
<form-bean name="users"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
<form-property name="count" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="users" type="java.util.List" />
</form-bean>
My action is defined as follows:
<action path="/showUsers"
type="org.ifmc.struts.action.AdminAction"
name="users"
scope="request"
parameter="method"
validate="false">
<forward name="continue" path="template.users.layout" />
</action>
The snip of jsp that does the iteration is as follows:
<logic:iterate id="user" indexId="count" name="users" property="users">
<row:row evenStyleClass="evenrow" oddStyleClass="oddrow">
<td>
<%=count.intValue()+1%>.
<bean:write name="user" property="username" />
</td>
<td>
<bean:write name="user" property="email"/>
</td>
</row:row>
</logic:iterate>
As long as every request maps to an Action so no jsp's are exposed without
being processed through an Action first then all your form beans are populated before
the jsp get rendered. Why not try this approach instead of putting the
collection directly in request scope? Since every Action can have an
ActionForm tied to it if specified, you are guaranteed to have your
collection as long as you populate it. Just my .02
