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? Jeff Butler-2 wrote: > > I think your issue relates to a misunderstanding about the "property" > attribute.
