well, teoreticly it should work this way....
<logic:iterate id="people" name="peoplelist">
<logic:iterate id="numberpeople" name="people" property="numberpeoplelist">
<bean:write name="numberpeople"><br/>
</logic:iterate>
</logic:iterate>
but i came across a problem that sometimes i get an exception that "could not find bean 'numberpeople' at any scope (well the names of beans are taken from this example, the exception is in my onw project with diferent classes)
i suspect that it does not create this temporary bean (that is used to store actual object on which the iteration is at the moment) if there is only one element in the collection..
well i propably make another topic for my problem
