Iterator Tag (Control Tags) Example

In this section, we are going to describe the Iterator tag. Iterator tag is used to iterate over a value. An iterable value can be either of: java.util.Collection, java.util.Iterator.

Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.

struts.xml

<action name="iteratorTag" class="net.roseindia.iteratorTag">
<result>/pages/genericTags/iteratorTag.jsp</result>
</action>

Create an action class as shown:

iteratorTag.java


package net.roseindia;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

import java.util.*;



public class iteratorTag extends ActionSupport{

  

  private List myList;

  

  public String execute()throws Exception{

  myList = new ArrayList();

  myList.add("Fruits");

  myList.add("Apple");

  myList.add("Mango");

  myList.add("Orange");

  myList.add("Pine Apple");

  return SUCCESS;

  }



  public List getMyList(){

  return myList;

  }

}

The following example retrieves the value of the getMyList() method of the current object on the value stack and uses it to iterate over. The <s:property/> tag prints out the current value of the iterator.
