help :how to get value from logic:iterate

[Robert Smith]

my jsp is :
<logic:iterate id="xxx" name="abc" >
<bean:write name="xxx" property="logname"/>
<bean:write name="xxx" property="password"/>
<bean:write name="xxx" property="phone"/>
<bean:write name="xxx" property=""id/>
</logic:iterate>
how can i put the value of <bean:write name="xxx" property=""id/> to
a variable!
i try in this way :
<% int t= <bean:write name="xxx" property=""id/>;
%>
but it is wrong!
how can i do?

Not 100% certain, but I believe you can use the <bean:define> for that.

  
<logic:iterate id="xxx" name="abc" >
<bean:define id="lognameValue" name="xxx" property="logname" />
<bean:define id="passwordValue" name="xxx" property="password"  />
<bean:define id="phoneValue" name="xxx" property="phone" />
<bean:define id="idValue" name="xxx" property="id" />
</logic:iterate>

Then you can access the values as a page variable using, for example <%=idValue%> in your code, like in a request string:
yourAction.do?id=<%=idValue%>
or something along those lines.

thank you! i learn this way!
but i want to put a property of bean into a varible,for examples ,if a prperty of bean is a int variable ,can i write in this way:
<bean efine id="dd" name="xxx" property="id" />
<% int i=dd ;%>
or
<% int i=dd.getId();
%>
but it is all wrong! i don't understand the type of the "dd"(inside the example ),how can i do?

Hi skyspeed, glad I could help.
When you use the <bean:define>, the bean defined by the tag has to be an object. Primitives like an int are wrapped with the appropriate wrapper class behind the scenes by the Struts framework.
In your case, the framework assumes you have a method called getId() in class xxx(if you don't the tag will throw a JspException). Since the method returns an int property, the tag will define a bean of type Integer wrapping the retrieved value.
<bean:define id="dd" name="xxx" property="id" />
So behind the scenes, Struts has created a page-scope bean of type Integer identified as "dd", so to get the actual wrapped int you would use:
<% int i=dd.intValue();%>
I believe that should work for you. Post again if you have any other questions or problems.
Cheers,
E

But

<%int i=dd.intValue();%>

is also not working.
I got errors saying as follows...

An error occurred at line: 82 in the jsp file: /search.jsp
The method intValue() is undefined for the type Object
79: 
80: <%
81: int i = dd.intValue();
82: out.println(i); 
83:  %>

What is the actual solution? Please help me.

just give the type in the bean:define tag

<bean:define id="dd" name="xxx" property="id" type="java.lang.Integer" />
