Thank you Dave, I just managed to resolve the issue in a slightly earlier post.
Here is the action that backs the JSP. Now In my table I have a column which prints out db.localhost.test.Groups[name=ADMIN] because the object is db.localhost.test.Groups and it has a single property called name. Another thing to fix. package struts2.reflection; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import javax.persistence.EntityManager; import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory; import javax.persistence.Query; import org.apache.commons.collections.BeanMap; /** * * @author ken */ public class GetPropertyNames extends ActionSupport { List result = null; BeanMap propertyValues = null; private EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory; public void setEntityManagerFactory(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) { this.entityManagerFactory = entityManagerFactory; } @Override public String execute() { EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager(); Query namedQuery = entityManager.createNamedQuery("Customers.findAll"); result = namedQuery.getResultList(); if (result != null && result.size() > 0){ propertyValues = new BeanMap( result.get(1) ); //has unwanted property "class" but there is no valid remove method that will not throw an exception, so will take care of this in getter } return SUCCESS; } public List getResult(){ return result; } public List getPropertyValues(){ //can now remove unwanted property "class" ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList(propertyValues.keySet()); arrayList.remove("class"); return arrayList; } } On Tue, 2011-02-01 at 18:49 -0500, Dave Newton wrote: > On Tue, 2011-02-01 at 15:35 -0700, Ken McWilliams wrote: > > <s:iterator value = "resultList"> > > <s:iterator value="propertyNames"> > > ... > > > > I want propertyNames to be evaluated and the result used > > as the value for the iterator, not simply interpreted as a > > normal list. > > Evaluated in what context?
