Urgent help on logic:iterate

Question

Dear all,
I have a problem on logic:iterate and structs. Suppose I have EmployeeListAction to get the employees data as below :-
employees = EmployeeData.getEmployees(getDataSource(request));
request.setAttribute("employees", employees);
In the EmployeeData file, sample codes are as below :-
Employee employee = null;
ArrayList employees = new ArrayList();
employee = new Employee();
employee.setName(firstname);
employee.setEmail(Email);
employee.setTimezone(Time_zone);
employees.add(employee);
In JSP, the way to call the employees data in the logic:iterate tag is as below :-
<logic:iterate id="employee" name="employees" indexId="index" scope="request" property="com.convenxia.EmployeeListAction"
<bean:message...>
</logic:iterate>
But it return errors which is as below :-
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean employees in scope session
I have tried :-
<logic:iterate id="employee" name="employees" indexId="index" scope="request"> or
<logic:iterate id="employee" name="employees" indexId="index" scope="request" type="com.convenxia.Employee">
But it still return errors which is as below :-
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean employees in scope session
How to resolve it ?
Please help me as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Cheers,

Answer 1

It look like you did not define or use bean.
In program you do: request.setAttr || request.getSession().setAttr
In jsp you then pick it up first:
<jsp:useBean id="employees" class="...." scope=[request || session] (depends where you put it) />
or for struts:
<bean:define id="employees" scope="..[as above] toScope=[where you want to pick it up in iterate]"
type="..." />
then you should be able to use it safely in iterate tag.
