Aside from the various errors, I think the answer to your original question
is "you can't do that".
Let me see if I understand what you want to do. You have a Vector whose
elements are of some bean class (BuddyListForm I believe). You want to
iterate over that Vector. Then, for each object, you want to iterate over
its properties. So, for your BuddyListForm, the body of the iterator would
be evaluated once for each of 'name', 'alias' and 'phoneno'. Is this right?
The iterate tag does not support this. It operates on collections,
iterators, maps, and arrays of objects. It does not support on-the-fly
generation of such a collection using introspection on a bean, which is what
would be needed for what you want to do.
Hope this helps.
