The "collection" attribute of the <logic:iterator> tag does not lookup the object in the specified scope

           Summary: The "collection" attribute of the <logic:iterator> tag
                    does not lookup the object in the specified scope
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dinu@zappmobile.ro
                CC: dinu@zappmobile.ro


The doStartTag() method in IterateTag.java class assigns the string value of 
the "collection" attribute of the tag to the "collection" global variable of 
the class. Therefore, the logic:iterate tag used with the "collection" 
attribute will always be initialized with the name of the Collection to 
iterate and not the Collection itself (so it will be a String), and the method 
will always throw the "Cannot iterate over this collection" exception.

to reproduce, jsp code:

----- cut here ------
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<% 
java.util.Vector v = new java.util.Vector();
v.add("Foo");
v.add("Bar");
pageContext.setAttribute ("MyCollection", v.elements());
%>
<logic:iterate collection="MyCollection" id="collectionItem">
<%=collectionItem%>
</logic:iterate>
----------- cut here -----------
