Are you positive you have the html:hidden tag within the appropriate html:form tag? What is your html:form tag for either JSP?

I have a list of employee objects in a page. on clicking on an employee from the list, the next page should show me more details on the employee. for getting the values across, i am trying to use html:hidden. but for some reason i am getting null for the attributes. when i do a view source on the page with the list, this is what i see. <TR class="command" onclick='window.location="./empDetailPrepare.do"' > <input type="hidden" name="empNmbr" value="8423"> <input type="hidden" name="empSSN" value="55315"> <TD class="list">Howard Austin</TD> <TD class="list">Programmer</TD> The employee list shows the name and job title of the employee and I am passing empNmbr and empSSN as the hidden parameters. I have a EmplListForm (ActionForm) which has empNmbr and empSSN as the attributes. I have a Value Object Employee , which has a bunch of attributes like empNmbr,empSSN,name,jobTitle etc. --------------------------------------------------------------- struts-config.xml <!--*** emp list form bean, just used to pass some properties to the next page***--> <form-bean name="empListbean" type="com.test.web.forms.empListForm"> </form-bean> <!--*** show the emp list ***--> <action path="/showempList" type="com.test.web.actions.EmpListAction" name="empListbean" scope="request"> <forward name="empdetailprepare" path="/empDetailPrepare.do"/> </action> <!--*** prepares the event detail screen for display ***--> <action path="/empDetailPrepare" type="com.test.web.actions.EmpDetailsPrepareAction" name="empListbean" scope="request"> <forward name="continue" path="/empDetail.jsp"/> </action> -------------------------- empList.jsp <html:hidden name='empobj' property='empNmbr'/> <html:hidden name='empobj' property='evntTm'/> <TD class="list"><bean:write name='empobj' property='name' /></TD> <TD class="list"><bean:write name='empobj' property='jobTitle' /></TD> -------------------------------------- in my action class EmplListForm emplListForm = (EmplListForm ) form; System.out.println("empNmbr = "+request.getAttribute("empNmbr")); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am at a loss at to what am I missing here. Can anyone point out anything?
