try a bean:write into a normal hidden field, you can intermix <html:* and <form,<input, etc tags on your pages.

I'm running up a problem and I'm not sure how to solve it. In my application, there is an action called PLAReview. An e-mail is sent to someone telling them to click on a link that looks like this: http://www.whatever.com/PLAReview.do?id=1 The Action PLAReview uses that ID number to pull some data out of a database, push it into a DTO, put the DTO in the request scope, and then calls mapping.findForward("Success"); which forwards to another jsp page. This page prints out all the data from the DTO, and also has a few form feilds that the user needs to complete, and then submit. I'm rendering a <html:hidden> object on this second page, that will hold the id of this request (the same ID value from above), but I don't know how to get it there. I tried doing: <html:hidden property="id"/> But that didn't seem to work because I think it wants to get the ID property from the ActionForm object tied to the form, which doesn't have the correct value. I need a way to get that value from the first URL, and also make sure that if validation fails and the form is redisplayed, the value for ID is pulled from the ActionForm (since I think the initial id from the first URL will be lost). Does this make any sense? Cheers! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
