Hi

It's not clear from my examples but ReportParameters is the actual name of a
property in the HashMap passed to iBatis (it's used throughout the
application I'm amending). 

 i.e. I pass a HashMap called, say, MyHashMap to iBatis; within this is a
property called ReportParameters. This in turn contains an array property
called 'outerArray' whcih is comprised of several properties, one of which
is another array, 'innerArray'. 

My guess is that the ReportParameters.outerArray[].innerArray and
#ReportParameters.outerArray[].innerArray[].someProperty# syntax should have
worked as you suggest but it seems to have severe problems with accessing
one of the arrays. It's almost as if it doesn#'t find an array but finds an
instance of 'something else' instead.

I'm wondering whether there's an issue with the version of iBatis this
particular app. uses? I'm wondering whether the nested <iterate> technique
require a specific level or patch?
