The <logic:iterate> tag is a general purpose tool that can iterate over
*any* bean or bean property (whether or not it is inside the form

depending on whether or not it is nested inside an <html:form> would be
very confusing.

Can you post the actual getPhones() method of your form bean in the case
where this fails?
