How to use <logic:iterate> over arraylist of a bean class

[vivek mahajan]

I have a Bean class like

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MyBean implements java.io.Serializable {

    private String str;
    private int i;
    private ArrayList a;

and its getter and setter methods.Then in my execute method i m using this bean as

 MyBean myBean = new MyBean();
          myBean.setStr(s);
          myBean.setI(i);
          ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
          for(int j = 0; j<= 10; j++){
              al.add(j);
          }
          myBean.setA(al);
          request.setAttribute("myBean", myBean);

but i am unable to get this bean class in jsp page.The code i am using is as follows

<logic:iterate collection="${myBean}"
                                                   id="MyBean"
                                                   name="${myBean}"
                                                   type="com.MyBean">

please suggest me the modification or any alternate code.Thanks

You are almost there. Just think that your collection is not "myBean". It is something inside it.
For more refer this and this.

thanks for the suggestion
I changed the code but i m geting classCastException in the line where i wrote type="com.MyBean"

   <logic:iterate collection="${myBean.a}"  
                                              id="MyBean"  
                                             name="${myBean}"  
                                       type="com.MyBean"
                                       property="a">

The "type" attribute gives the type of the objects contained in the collection. In other words, it should be the type of what you want to get by the bean specified by "id".

In your original example, I see Integer being added to the List and Integers only would be returned. "id" would give you those elements you added to the list, 1 in each iteration. The second link helps in understanding this.
Try to shoot the trouble now and get back if you need more help
