You would retrieve the hidden form property like any other.
In other words you have a hidden form element:
<input type="hidden" name="myProperty" value="Be cool"/>
In you action form you have a property with setter/getter:
public MyActionForm extends ActionForm {
...
protected String myProperty;
...
public void setMyProperty(String myProperty) {
this.myProperty = myProperty;
}
public String getMyProperty() {
return this.myProperty;
}
}
In your Action class you would access the ActionForm from within your
execute or lookupMethod(DispatchAction) and retrieve the property value:
public MyAction extends Action {
...
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
MyActionForm myActionForm = (MyActionForm)form;
String myProperty = myActionForm.getMyProperty();
// perform logic/model calls
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
...
}

Thanks Alot
If I make a method with the name of hidden field parameter in the Bean
Class and give as parameter in the structs_config.xml.
Is it helpful for me to find the hidden field value in the class which is
extended the Action class.
Regards
Shashi
