Iterating over a Collection of Collection of Bean

[Tim Teulings <ra...@edge.ping.de>]

Hello!

I want to display a property in my *jsp that is of type Collection
(LinkedList) of Collection (LinkedList) of Bean - in principle a two
dimensional matrix of Beans.

I tried to use some code like

<logic:iterate id="categoryList" name="categories"
type="java.util.LinkedList">
X
  <logic:iterate id="category" name="categoryList"
type="org.teulings.knowhow.bean.Category">
Y
  </logic:iterate>
</logic:iterate>

but this does not work as the second iterate cannot see the iteration
variable of the first iterate (categoryList). Using similar "nested"
tags did not help either. I also look more closer at the "nested"
tutorials but they assume that I buil dmy datastructure all together
based on my beans.

I s there a way to use nested java collections or do I have to fall back
to building my own beans?

Try this...

<logic:iterate id="category" name="categoryList"
type="org.teulings.knowhow.bean.Category"
property="property_of_X_that_is_a_list">

Works for me (see sample JSP below). Check your data structure actually 
looks the way you think it does (i.e. that it's correctly populated).

L.

<%@ page import="java.util.List"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.LinkedList"%>
<%
     String[][] data = new String[][] {
         { "a1", "a2", "a3" },
         { "b1", "b2", "b3" },
         { "c1", "c2", "c3" },
     };

     List outer = new LinkedList();
     for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
         java.lang.String[] strings = data[i];
         List inner = new LinkedList();
         for (int j = 0; j < strings.length; j++) {
             String string = strings[j];
             inner.add(string);
         }
         outer.add(inner);
     }

     pageContext.setAttribute("outer", outer);
%>

<%@ taglib prefix="logic" uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" %>

<logic:iterate id="inner" name="outer">
     X
     <logic:iterate id="bean" name="inner">
         Y ${bean}
     </logic:iterate>
     <br/>
</logic:iterate>
