I think his point is that his view template is going to iterate these objects
anyways, he just did not include the additional layout html for the
resultsList.   I don't think he was suggesting that getting a count by
looping is better done in JSP tags rather than the action class.  I am sure
there is some form of branching logic that is also not shown otherwise he
would just use resultsList.size.
