Hi Thank u all for ur replies.
This is my next step...
Here is the source of one of my model classes, Officer
public class Officer {
private String id;
private String error = null;
private Set<Excess> *totalExcessSet* = new HashSet<Excess>();
.........
In my execute() method I have an Officer Instance.
I want to iterate through *totalExcessSet *property of this instance within
my view. How am I gonna do this??
Many thanks again
