There isn't one in the Java SDK (as far as I know) but jakarta commons has
one
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections/api-release/org/apache/commons
/collections/iterators/ArrayIterator.html

ST probably shouldn't rely on this so you can create your own. It is
straight forward.
I created one before I found the one in commons collections. I can give it
to you if you like
(assuming I can find it). But again I didn't think this through fully.
