Hi Geeta/Paul/Mark/Wendy
What Geeta has suggested is basically the same thing but Paul is using JSTL for that.
But such is the restriction of my application that I can not use request object to get the values from form directly by calling request.getParameter(...);
I will explain this why.
The framework that we are working with right now gives some add on features over struts. Basically taken from StrutsEJB framework.
We are using Map Based DTOs to transfer data from view layer to model layer and other way round.
We are also using the feature of Command Files. I will explain it what it is for people unaware of StrutsEJB framework.
In Struts we are supposed to mention the Action Class in the struts-config.xml. And from the Action class we generally call some java programs (say command files) to access the model layer basically to avoid keeping business logic in Action Classes.
But in my framework we just need to mention the Command file name in struts-config.xml instead of Action classes. There is only one action class that is DefaultAction class which handles all the requests and diverts the program control to the command file. I will give here one typical entry in my struts-config.xml for your reference.
<action
path="/CreateUser"
type="framework.common.web.DefaultAction"
name="UserForm"
scope="request"
input = "/CreateUser.jsp"
parameter="app.cmd.CreateUserCmd">
<forward name="Success" path = "/UserSucc.jsp" />
</action>
in the above action tag the attribute parameter is the name of the command file where i would like my control to go after the form gets submitted.
Now the problem is in the Command File "CreateUserCmd" where i would keep my business logic -- i dont have the "request" object. so i cant do a
"request.getParameter(.....); " here.
the way i get values from forms is like this.
if I have this code in JSP
<html:text property="dto(txtUsname)" styleClass="listItem" size="14" />
I will have to write the following code in my command file to get the value of "User Name"
String UserName = (String)paramDTO.get("txtUsName");
As Mark/Wendy were asking me why i cant use _javascript_ is because
whenever i use something like this in _javascript_ I get _javascript_ error at runtime
document.UserForm.dto(txtUsName).value = val;
document.UserForm.submit();
This is obvious because whenever _javascript_ parses something like dto(txtUsName) it takes it as a function call.
I hope I could explain the problem properly.

Avinash:
How about trying something like this:
<%String myLink = "/EmplyeeDetailAction.do?employeeId=" + employeeId; %>
<html:link page="<%=myLink">Employee Detail Page</html:link>
