Can you just use hidden form variables? Check out the Struts-HTML
html:hidden tag - that might get you through this.

In the welcome page, all visitors of the web site can
choose to view any article that is available in the
database. But, visitors will not be able to delete or
update any of those articles (DELETE, UPDATE, etc.
buttons are not provided). This part of my struts
application works well. I have a drop-down list
enclosed in html:form for visitors to make a
selection and submit it for an action to be taken:
html:form action=/menu/Find
TR
TD class=label nowrapFind articles by: /TD
TD class=input
html:select size=1 property=dispatch
onchange=document.forms[1].elements[2].focus()
html:options collection=FIND property=value
labelProperty=label/
/html:select
html:text property=keyValue size=20
maxlength=50/
/TD
TDhtml:submitGO/html:submit/TD
/TR
/html:form
Visitor can choose articles by title, author,
category, content, or article ID. If author is
selected from the drop-down list and the name of the
author Victor Hugo is supplied, keyName will be set
as creator and keyValue will be set as Victor Hugo for
further processing as shown in my struts-config.xml
below:
action
path=/menu/Find
type=org.apache.struts.scaffold.ParameterAction
name=menuForm
validate=false
parameter=keyValue
forward
name=title
path=/do/find/Property?keyName=titleamp;keyValue=/
forward
name=author
path=/do/find/Property?keyName=creatoramp;keyValue=/
forward
name=journal_category
path=/do/find/Property?keyName=journal_categoryamp;keyValue=/
forward
name=content
path=/do/find/Property?keyName=contentamp;keyValue=/
forward
name=article
path=/do/article/View?article=/
/action
After a registered visitor successfully logs in, a
user specific page is displayed. For example, after
the author Victor Hugo who has submitted several of
his articles at the web site logs in, he will see a
page with Submit Article and View Article (IT IS A
LINK OR A BUTTON. IT IS NOT A DROP DOWN LIST), etc.
The author can view his own articles only because
DELETE, UPDATE, etc. buttons will be provided.
I am stuck here. There is no drop-down list for
Victor Hugo. How do I supply keyName (which is
creator) and keyValue (request.getRemoteUser) to the
action below if Victor Hugo clicks on the View
Article button?
action
path=/menu/Find
parameter=keyValue
forward
name=author
path=/do/find/Property?keyName=creatoramp;keyValue=/
/action
