I think this might work:
<%@ taglib prefix="html" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; %>
<%@ taglib prefix="nested" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-nested"; %>
...
<%-- assuming ItemList is the form for this action --%>
<html:form action="...">
<nested:iterate property="itemList">
<tr>
<nested:iterate property="prices">
<td>
<nested:text property="price"/>
</td>
</nested:iterate>
</tr>
</nested:iterate>
</html:form>
