How can I do this

[Sashi Ravipati]

I am reading the values from an array, when I build my table I use
<html:text name="addRateForm" property="<%=\"firstName[\"+j+\"]\"%>" />
the above tag converts to 
<input type="text" name="firstName[1]" value="b">

Now I also want to build a hidden value along with the text box as shown below

<input type=hidden value="b" >

I tried to to this which does not work
<html:hidden property="firstName" value='<bean:write name="addRateForm" 
property="<%=\"firstName[\"+j+\"]\"%>" />' />

How can I achieve this

Thanks
