      public class IteratorGeneratorTag
      extends StrutsBodyTagSupport

  NOTE: JSP-TAG

  Generate an iterator based on the val attribute supplied.

  NOTE: The generated iterator will ALWAYS be pushed into the top of the stack, and poped at the end of the tag.
  - val* (Object) - the source to be parsed into an iterator
  - count (Object) - the max number (Integer, Float, Double, Long, String) entries to be in the iterator
  - separator (String) - the separator to be used in separating the val into entries of the iterator
  - var (String) - the name to store the resultant iterator into page context, if such name is supplied
  - converter (Object) - the converter (must extends off IteratorGenerator.Converter interface) to convert the String entry parsed from val into an object
  Example One:

       Generate a simple iterator
       <s:generator val="%{'aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee'}">
        <s:iterator>
            <s:property /><br/>
        </s:iterator>
       </s:generator>

  This generates an iterator and print it out using the iterator tag. Example Two:

       Generate an iterator with count attribute
       <s:generator val="%{'aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee'}" count="3">
        <s:iterator>
            <s:property /><br/>
        </s:iterator>
       </s:generator>

  This generates an iterator, but only 3 entries will be available in the iterator generated, namely aaa, bbb and ccc respectively because count attribute is set to 3 Example Three:

       Generate an iterator with var attribute
       <s:generator val="%{'aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee'}" count="4" separator="," var="myAtt" />
       <%
        Iterator i = (Iterator) pageContext.getAttribute("myAtt");
        while(i.hasNext()) {
            String s = (String) i.next(); %>
            <%=s%> <br/>
       <%    }
       %>

  This generates an iterator and put it in the PageContext under the key as specified by the var attribute. Example Four:

       Generate an iterator with comparator attribute
       <s:generator val="%{'aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee'}" converter="%{myConverter}">
        <s:iterator>
            <s:property /><br/>
        </s:iterator>
       </s:generator>

       public class GeneratorTagAction extends ActionSupport {

         ....

         public Converter getMyConverter() {
            return new Converter() {
                public Object convert(String value) throws Exception {
                    return "converter-"+value;
                }
            };
         }

         ...

       }

  This will generate an iterator with each entries decided by the converter supplied. With this converter, it simply add "converter-" to each entries.
