Aaron,
Glad to see it works :-) I corrected my typo before seeing your reply... .
You are free to do what you like in the JSP... but don't say it is
better design... because unfortunately it isn't... . Scriplets and hard
coding in JSPs is "bad" design period :-)
Yes - if there is one variable used in one JSP then technically you are
coding in 2 places... but that doesn't make it better or best
practice... . The other argument might be that it is easier to put it
in the JSP because JSP's can be automatically re-compiled on changes but
this doesn't hold water either because in production best practice has
it to disable auto-recompile of JSPs for a number of reasons (e.g. more
performant, security w.r.t. defacing, etc...). Perhaps its more
convenient for you but convenience and good design don't always go hand
in hand... often its a trade off.
In any event, it seems like you have little choice. But I'm curious why
you would have to make changes in 2 places if the variable value
changes? I only see a change in 1 place if a variable is say called
DEFAULT_COUNTRY and its value needs to change. No?

Hi Nikolaos,
Yes, initializing property in action works fine. I think that in this
case my initial design is better, because I have to change the JSP
later anyway, and it would be only change to the JSP only. Now I have
to make change in two places

Aaron,
You shouldn't avoid hard-coding values in a JSP... even if it
something as simple as a default value.
Have you tried putting the value as a constant in your action bean
and referring to it from there?
(the idea is if you have multiple JSPs then the value need only be
maintained in one place)
If it works drop us a note as I am curious about this issue as well... .

Greetings,
My application has a counttry property whose value eventually will
be input in the form but for now is defaulted to "US", so I
attempted to put it in the hidden field in the JSP:
<stripes:hidden name="country" value="US"/>
The generated HTML is
<input type="hidden" name="country" value=""/>
The same HTML is generated for <stripes:hidden
name="country">US</stripes:hidden>.
The oddest thing is that the value is stripped and the same HTML is
produced when I put <input type="hidden" name="country"
value="US"/> directly in JSP.
Is Websphere's JSP engine sabotaging the works? Anybody knows? Just
curious...
Thanks,
