Hi Erik,
> Could it be that you try to iterate over a Map?
Nope - just a collection. Here is an example of the problem (tested
with tomcat 5.0.19) :
Sample1.jsp
=======================================
<%@ page import="java.util.Collection,
java.util.ArrayList,
java.util.Date"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="h" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<html>
<style>
H1 { font-size: 1.1em; }
</style>
<body>
<h1>Tag Files and Collections - my problem...</h1>
<hr>
<c:set var="stuff" value="<%= new ArrayList() %>"/>
<jsp:useBean id="stuff" class="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<%
//ok - put some objects in the collection
stuff.add(new Date());
Thread.sleep(1000);
stuff.add(new Date());
Thread.sleep(5000);
stuff.add(new Date());
Thread.sleep(5000);
stuff.add(new Date());
%>
Confirm the collection is present and has objects in it
<ul>
<c:forEach items="${stuff}" var="item">
<li>${item} - ${item.time}</li>
</c:forEach>
</ul>
<hr>
Now use the collection in a tag file:<p>
<h:sample_tag1 items="${stuff}" />
<hr>
<%= new java.util.Date() %>
</body>
</html>
WEB-INF/tags/sample_tag1.tag
============================================
<%@ tag body-content="scriptless" %>
<%@ attribute name="items" required="true" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
items = ${items}<p>
<table border=1>
<c:forEach items="${items}" var="anItem">
<tr>
<td>${anItem}</td>
<%-- uncomment the next line and you get an error - since the anItems
are strings... --%>
<%--<td>${anItem.time}</td>--%>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
<td>
</table>
