记一次Struts踩坑实例

问题：如何取到append操作后的集合

  <s:set name="books" value="books"/>
  <s:append id="list">
  <s:param value="#books"/>
  <s:param value="#request.list"/>
  </s:append>
  <s:property value="@db.MyDb@setBooks(#list)"/>
  <%
ArrayList<Book> books1=MyDb.getBooks();
request.setAttribute("newlist", books1);
%>
<s:iterator value="#request.newlist" id="book" status="s">

起因：学习Struts2框架过程中，有一个实验要求用list集合模拟数据库，执行append操作后想要调用静态方法把新的集合赋给原来的集合，发现传入的list并不是一个集合

起初，我以为Struts框架将两个集合合并后会自动转换为我传入时的ArrayList，发现界面输出为空时，我下断调试了一下

调试情况如下：

结果是传入的不是ArrayList，看来至少我学习用的2.1版本并没有我想的这个功能。

通过toString方法得到返回的是AppendIteratorFilter这个类，显然append标签底层通过该类实现操作。

AppendIteratorFilter.java源码如下

    List iterators = new ArrayList();

    public String execute() {
        // Make source transformations
        for (int i = 0; i < sources.size(); i++) {
            Object source = sources.get(i);
            iterators.add(getIterator(source));
        }

        return SUCCESS;
    }

    // Iterator implementation ---------------------------------------
    public boolean hasNext() {
        if (iterators.size() > 0) {
            return (((Iterator) iterators.get(0)).hasNext());
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public Object next() {
        try {
            return ((Iterator) iterators.get(0)).next();
        } finally {
            if (iterators.size() > 0) {
                if (!((Iterator) iterators.get(0)).hasNext()) {
                    iterators.remove(0);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public void remove() {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }
}

发现next方法的实现很奇怪，把自己写的静态方法参数类型修改为AppendIteratorFilter再次调试一下

((Iterator) iterators.get(0)).next()

就得到了合并后的结果，反复调试，就不难发现，append操作其实是通过合并两个集合的iterator实现的

PS:在非iterator标签AppendIteratorFilter调用next方法后(即本文中在append标签后iterator标签前)，会改变AppendIteratorFilter next指针，此时若再返回到jsp界面仍使用append标签name属性定义的集合进行遍历操作会没有输出结果
