You could save the set object into the request object as:
request.setAttribute("officer", new BlahBlahOfficer());
and then use strut Logic tag in your view to iterate through the list as:
<logic:Iterate name="officer" id="Item" property="totalExcessSet">
<logic:Iterate name="Item" id="excess">
<bean:write name="excess"
property="excess_property_name_to_print" />
</logic:Iterate>
</logic>
The list that you pass has to implement an Iterator.
I have not ran the snippet of code above but that is the idea.
