Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question, but the <iterate>-tag supports (amongst others) all Collection implementations (so ArrayList is supported) and arrays. You do not have to change anything in your first query to make it work. The []-syntax is there to let iBATIS know it should retrieve property values from the current item of the loop.
Hope this helps, Niels ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 8 februari 2006 17:25 To: user-java@ibatis.apache.org Subject: about the iterate usage Dear all, I know "iterate" is of java.util.List, so I have to initial the length for the array in Java. Generally it use brackets[]. <iterate property="fruits" conjunction=","> (#fruits[].id#, #fruits[].name#) </iterate> Now I need insert some data, and the length is not fixed. So can I use the arraylist to replace list? Writing like this: <iterate property="fruits" conjunction=","> (#fruits.getid()#, #fruits.getname()#) </iterate> Thanks so much for your warm-hearted help.
