how to iterate a collection of data objects using <logic:iterate> and <bean:write>

[Bushra Binte]

Hi,I am trying to iterate a collection of objects.These objects contains 5 fields to be displayed.
In action class,i put the collection as

 
List  searchList = new ArrayList();
 if(searchCritArray != null)
                                  {
regD  = new RegD(); // DTO that has properties name,addr,email,code,city.

regD.setName(searchCritArray.hasMoreTokens()?searchCritArray.nextToken().trim():"");
regD.setAddr(searchCritArray.hasMoreTokens()?searchCritArray.nextToken().trim():"");
regD.setEmail(searchCritArray.hasMoreTokens()?searchCritArray.nextToken().trim():"");
regD.setCode(searchCritArray.hasMoreTokens()?searchCritArray.nextToken().trim():"");
regD.setCity(searchCritArray.hasMoreTokens()?searchCritArray.nextToken().trim():"");
searchList.add(regD);

  request.setAttribute("SearchSelectedList",searchList);  

And in jsp ,iterate as

    <logic:iterate id="i" name="SearchSelectedList"   scope="request" >

<tr >
                    <td ><bean:write name="i"  property="name"/></td> 
                    <td ><bean:write name="i"  property="addr"/></td> 
                    <td ><bean:write name="i"  property="email"/></td> 
                    <td ><bean:write name="i"  property="code"/></td> 
                    <td ><bean:write name="i"  property="city"/></td> 
</tr>
</logic:iterate>

 

When i run the application no error is displayed ,but ,result is,

[object][object][object][object][object]

displayed.

How can we get the value stored inside the object that is in a collection.

Well this is a strange sort of behavior. First of all I am assuming that you have getter properties for all your properties in RegD class. Then one thing that I'm not clear on is that why are you using a list when there is only one instance of RegD class in the list. Maybe you have shown some incomplete code.

Also by looking at the ouput, I can only think of the toString method of AbstractCollection class. I know I may be wrong on this. But there is no way that I know of when the code should display that kind of output. Maybe there is something wrong with your action and there is a List as elements in your list. Still I'm not sure how can that sort of output can come...
