I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but here's a shot:
You are trying to set an HTML input parameter (value) from within the out.println()
string. Suppose the string you want to set value to is contained in the String str. Your code would look like: out.println("< input .... value=\"" + str + "\"...>");
Here the value contained in str is concatinated to value=", then "...> is concatinated to that. This completes a correctly formed output string containing str. Hope that answers it.
