Anant, You can do the following:
set up a boolean flag at the top of the jsp page that will be used to disable fields on your page like so: <% boolean flag = false; %> and then set this according to the value of the flag in your form using logic tags: <logic:equal name="FormName" property="xxx" value="true"> <% flag = true; %> </logic:equal> <logic:equal name="FormName" property="xxx" value="false"> <% flag = false; %> </logic:equal> and then in your <html:text> elements do this: <html:text property="xxx" disabled="<%= flag %>"/> you have to make sure though that the boolean is set to the right value (so that if you wish to disable something it is true - this got me caught out a few times!)

Can you suggest me how to go about it. Can I use a form bean element (java.lang.Boolean/String) to disable a <html:text> dynamically depending on its value. If yes then how can I do it?
